See every featureYour theme gets slower and riskier as apps pile up. They add scripts, and many stay after you uninstall. GhostCode keeps your theme healthy: see what each app costs in speed, flag malicious scripts and apps named in security incidents, and catch prices AI agents could quote wrong. It also finds apps that break when script tags end March 1, 2027, and traces leftover code to the app that left it (file, line, snippet).
When you uninstall a Shopify app, its code often stays in your theme — scripts loading for services that no longer exist, slowing every page for nothing. Shopify can't remove it, and most apps don't. Upright Cleaner scans your theme, matches files against known app signatures, and verifies each app is really gone, so live integrations are never touched. The scan is read-only. we never modify your theme.
