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).
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.
