See every featureGhostSweep scans your Shopify theme to detect code left behind by uninstalled apps — the "ghost code" that silently slows down your store. 3 detection methods (dead link detection, orphan resource scanning, orphan file matching) identify residual snippets, sections, and assets with 3-level risk classification (Safe/Caution/Danger).
Script Scan audits your theme for scripts left behind by uninstalled apps and detects conflicts like duplicate analytics tags, multiple jQuery versions, and overlapping chat widgets. Each orphaned script adds extra HTTP requests, slows page loads, skews analytics data, and may leak customer info to services you no longer use. ScriptScan is 100% read-only — it never modifies your theme.

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
