How you compare

Measured against every site SEOking has audited: a corpus that grows with each scan and cannot be reconstructed after the fact.

Your position

71th percentile of 28 sites audited. The average site scores 72, the median 67.

The most unusual thing you fail

JavaScript does not rewrite indexing directives

100% of the sites we have audited get this right and yours does not. Of everything on this report, it is the fault that most sets you apart from your competition, which makes it the first thing worth fixing.

Inbox Trust Index

Our own measure of whether your domain is trusted by the systems that decide if mail reaches an inbox. No other website audit reports this. It is built from BounceZero's deliverability platform.

Your plan

The 28 faults on this report come from 17 underlying causes. Fixing a cause fixes everything under it, so this is ordered by score returned per unit of work, not by severity alone.

The 8 quickest steps here take you from 82 to about 88. That is 6 points for changes measured in minutes and hours, not weeks.

  1. 1. Stop JavaScript overriding the indexing directives

    Development work · days to weeks→ 84/100

    A canonical or noindex injected at runtime silently overrides what the server said, and the served HTML still looks correct to anyone reading the source.

    Fixes 2 findings: JavaScript does not rewrite indexing directives · The title survives rendering

  2. 2. Point the site's own authority at the pages that earn

    Template change · a few hours→ 87/100

    Internal links decide which of your pages search engines treat as important, and the decision is usually an accident of navigation design. It costs nothing to change and it changes what ranks.

    Fixes 4 findings: Every page is linked from somewhere · Navigation promotes pages that earn money · Every page is linked from another · Internal authority is spread, not pooled

  3. 3. Close the takeover and impersonation gaps

    DNS edit · minutes→ 87/100

    A subdomain pointing at a service that released it can be claimed by anyone, who then publishes on your domain. Deleting the record costs nothing and closes it immediately.

    Fixes 1 finding: No lookalike domain can send mail as your brand

  4. 4. Complete the security headers

    Server or CDN config · under an hour→ 89/100

    All set in the same place — your web server or CDN. Half of them are single lines.

    Fixes 4 findings: Content Security Policy header · Cookies are protected · Clickjacking protection header · Referrer policy header

  5. 5. Resolve the contradictory indexing signals

    Server or CDN config · under an hour→ 91/100

    Each of these pages passes every check on its own and still cannot be indexed, because two of its signals contradict each other. This is the usual answer to 'the page looks fine, why isn't it in Google' — and it is normally one template fix, not one per page.

    Fixes 1 finding: Sitemap and page directives agree

  6. 6. Fix email authentication

    DNS edit · minutes→ 91/100

    These are all records in your DNS. One editing session fixes every one of them, and it is the change most likely to stop your mail being filtered.

    Fixes 2 findings: MTA-STS policy published · TLS reporting enabled

  7. 7. Reduce what the page has to load

    Development work · days to weeks→ 93/100

    Image and script weight drive every speed metric you are failing. This is the slowest fix here and the one with the longest tail.

    Fixes 2 findings: Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s (lab) · Images declare width and height

  8. 8. Make the structured data qualify

    Template change · a few hours→ 94/100

    Rich results — ratings, prices, FAQs, breadcrumbs — are what turn a listing into an advert, and they are decided by whether a few required properties are present. Markup that is invalid or incomplete is work already done that currently earns nothing.

    Fixes 2 findings: Breadcrumbs are marked up · Site-wide search is declared

  9. 9. Write the titles and descriptions

    Content work · days→ 96/100

    Your title and description are the advert Google runs for you, free, every time someone searches.

    Fixes 1 finding: Homepage title is present and well sized

  10. 10. Fix what search engines are allowed to see

    Server or CDN config · under an hour→ 96/100

    These decide whether your pages can appear at all. Nothing else on this report matters until they are right.

    Fixes 1 finding: No unexpected noindex pages

  11. 11. Fix the page on a phone

    Template change · a few hours→ 97/100

    Google indexes the mobile version of your site, and these are measured in a real phone-sized browser rather than inferred. A page that scrolls sideways or needs pinching to read loses the visitor before the content matters.

    Fixes 1 finding: Tap targets are big enough to hit

  12. 12. Remaining individual fixes

    Mixed · varies→ 98/100

    These do not share a root cause with anything else on the report.

    Fixes 1 finding: Title is the same before and after JavaScript

  13. 13. Make the sitemap trustworthy

    Server or CDN config · under an hour→ 98/100

    lastmod is how Google decides what to recrawl first. A timestamp that is identical on every URL is a build date, and Google learns to ignore lastmod for the whole site once it notices.

    Fixes 1 finding: Sitemap lastmod dates are meaningful

  14. 14. Harden DNS and hosting

    Server or CDN config · under an hour→ 99/100

    Resilience and reputation work — lower urgency, but cheap while you are already in these systems.

    Fixes 2 findings: DNSSEC enabled · CAA record restricts certificate issuance

  15. 15. Decide whether AI assistants may cite you

    Server or CDN config · under an hour→ 99/100

    A growing share of questions are answered without a results page. Being quotable is a distribution channel, and it is usually blocked by a plugin default rather than a decision.

    Fixes 1 finding: A curated summary is published for assistants

  16. 16. Show who stands behind the content

    Content work · days→ 99/100

    Google's guidance asks who produced a page and why they should be trusted. For advice, health, legal or financial topics an anonymous, undated page competes badly against a named one.

    Fixes 1 finding: A publisher is declared in structured data

  17. 17. Serve images at the right size and format

    Development work · days to weeks→ 100/100

    Images are what Largest Contentful Paint usually measures, and WebP is typically a third smaller than the same JPEG. On image-led pages this is the largest saving available.

    Fixes 1 finding: Images are sized for the device

Fix these first

Ranked by severity, then by how much score each returns.

  1. critical

    1. JavaScript does not rewrite indexing directives

    +9 pts

    JavaScript changes the directives Google acts on after the page loads. The served HTML looks correct to anyone reading the source, and Google indexes what rendering produced — so a canonical or noindex injected at runtime silently overrides everything the server said.

    canonical: served 'https://www.shopify.com/', rendered 'https://www.shopify.com/fr'

    How to fix: Emit the final canonical and robots directives server-side. Nothing that decides indexing should depend on a script running.

  2. high

    2. Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s (lab)

    +8 pts

    Measured 2.7s on a simulated phone viewport. Google's threshold for 'good' is 2.5s. This is the metric most likely to be costing you both rankings and visitors who leave before the page paints.

    LCP 2730 ms · FCP 1517 ms

    How to fix: Compress and preload the largest above-the-fold image, and cache the HTML at the edge.

  3. high

    3. No lookalike domain can send mail as your brand

    +8 pts

    We generated and checked 56 plausible misspellings and variants of your domain. 12 of the 41 registered variants has mail servers configured, so it is technically able to send email that reads as yours to anyone skimming a sender address. Many such domains are entirely unrelated businesses that happen to have a similar name — this is a risk to be aware of and to defend against, not evidence that anyone is doing anything.

    shoopify.com   [mail configured]
    shopfy.com   [mail configured]
    shopidy.com   [mail configured]
    shopify-app.com   [mail configured]

    How to fix: Publish DMARC at enforcement so mail claiming to be your domain is rejected outright — that is the defence that works regardless of who owns a lookalike. Then register the closest unregistered variants; they cost a few pounds a year and are the cheapest brand protection available.

  4. high

    4. Sitemap and page directives agree

    +8 pts

    2 URL(s) are submitted in your sitemap and carry a noindex directive. The sitemap asks Google to index them and the page tells it not to. Google resolves this by trusting the page, so the sitemap entry only spends crawl budget — and contradictory signals across a whole site reduce how much Google trusts the sitemap generally. This affects every checked page of 2 templates (/webinar/{slug}, /resource/{slug}), covering up to 189 pages in your sitemap. Fixing the templates fixes all of them at once.

    https://www.shopify.com/resource/ai-series
    https://www.shopify.com/webinar/email-bfcm
    2 affected URLs

    How to fix: Remove these URLs from the sitemap, or remove the noindex if you do want them indexed. A sitemap should list only pages you want in the index.

  5. high

    5. Every page is linked from somewhere

    +6 pts

    9 of 12 crawled pages had no internal link pointing at them. Search engines discover pages by following links, so an unlinked page is found late or not at all — and passes on none of its authority.

    9 affected URLs

    How to fix: Link these from a relevant parent page, your navigation, or a hub page.

  • Images declare width and heightmedium

    26 of 52 images declare dimensions. Images without dimensions cause the page to jump as they load, which is what Cumulative Layout Shift measures.

    Set width and height attributes on every image.

  • Images are sized for the devicelow

    96 of 212 image(s) provide a srcset. Without one, a phone downloads the full desktop image and then scales it down — paying for pixels it never shows.

    Add srcset and sizes so each device downloads an appropriate image.

  • Core Web Vitals from real users

    Not available: PageSpeed API returned 429. This usually means the site does not yet have enough Chrome traffic for Google to report field data. Lab measurements below still apply.

  • Compression enabled

    Served with gzip compression.

  • Server responds quickly

    Median response across 12 page(s) was 93 ms.

  • Homepage HTML is not oversized

    Homepage HTML is 417 KB.

  • Reasonable number of scripts

  • Browser caching is allowed

    Pages may be cached by browsers and CDNs.

  • Images use a modern format

    Remove these URLs from the sitemap, or remove the noindex if you do want them indexed. A sitemap should list only pages you want in the index.

  • Homepage title is present and well sizedmedium

    Title is 66 characters. Google truncates around 60 characters, and a title under 10 tells it almost nothing.

    Shopify: The All-in-One Commerce Platform for Businesses - Shopify

    Write 50-60 characters covering what you do and where you do it.

  • Breadcrumbs are marked upmedium

    No BreadcrumbList markup. Google replaces the raw URL in your listing with a readable breadcrumb trail when this is present, which is more legible and measurably more clickable — and it is one of the cheapest rich results to earn.

    Add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD to every page below the homepage.

  • Site-wide search is declaredlow

    No WebSite markup. With a SearchAction it can give you a search box directly inside your Google listing for branded queries.

    Add WebSite JSON-LD, with potentialAction/SearchAction if the site has its own search.

  • A curated summary is published for assistantslow

    No /llms.txt. It is a short, plain-text map of what a site is and which pages matter — a convention some assistants read to decide what to quote, and cheap to publish. It is not yet a standard anyone is obliged to honour, so treat it as a low-cost bet rather than a requirement.

    Publish /llms.txt: a heading, one paragraph describing the business, and a linked list of your most important pages.

  • Search Console connected

    Not measured — not configured on this instance. Connecting Search Console adds what no crawl can see: the queries this site already appears for, where it ranks, and how many people click. It is read-only and can be disconnected at any time.

  • robots.txt does not block the site

    robots.txt present and open to search engines.

  • Canonicals point at indexable pages

    Every canonical points at a page that is allowed to be indexed.

  • Language links point both ways

    Every hreflang reference is reciprocated by the page it names.

  • Canonical targets are live pages

    Canonical targets all return 200.

  • Structured data parses

    All structured data blocks are valid JSON.

  • Noindex directives are readable

    No page relies on a directive Google is blocked from reading.

  • Language codes are valid

    Every hreflang value is a valid language or language-region code.

  • Marked-up content qualifies for rich results

    Every marked-up entity carries the properties Google requires.

  • Most crawled pages are indexable

    10 of 12 crawled page(s) (83%) can actually be indexed.

  • Each page lists itself

    Every page with hreflang annotations includes itself.

  • Language links point at indexable pages

    Every hreflang target is a live, indexable page.

  • The business is identified in structured data

    Identified as Corporation.

  • No canonical chains

    No canonical points at a page that then canonicals somewhere else.

  • Sitemap lists canonical pages only

    Every sitemap URL is its own canonical.

  • Structured data is in the served HTML

    All structured data is present in the HTML the server sends.

  • AI assistants can cite this site

    Every major assistant is allowed to read and cite these pages.

  • Pages are close to the homepage

    Every crawled page sits within four levels of the homepage (deepest: 4).

  • Social preview configured

  • Link previews are configured for X/Twitter

    5 twitter: tag(s) found.

  • Structured data in use

    2 structured data object(s) across 12 page(s): ContactPoint, Corporation.

  • Model-training access is stated

    No model-training crawler is blocked, so this content may be used to train future models. This is a business decision rather than an SEO one, and it is separate from being cited in answers: refusing training does not remove you from AI results, and allowing it does not put you in them.

  • Navigation promotes pages that earn moneymedium

    49 link(s) appear on nearly every page — the site-wide navigation, which is where most internal authority is allocated. 7 of them point at legal, account or administrative pages, and 5 of those sit among the eight best-linked pages on the site — level with, or above, the pages you sell from. Nobody decides this: a crawler counts every footer link as an endorsement repeated on every page, while visitors ignore footers. Those pages must exist and should not be among the best-linked things you publish.

    Link them from a relevant hub page or from navigation, using the subject as the link text.

  • Internal authority is spread, not pooledlow

    One page receives more than half of all internal links found. That concentrates authority in one place while the rest of the site is starved of it.

    Link deliberately to the pages you want to rank, not only to the same one from every template.

  • A publisher is declared in structured datalow

    No publisher in your structured data. It ties each page back to the organisation that stands behind it, which is what carries trust from your brand to an individual article.

    Add a publisher property naming your Organization, with its logo.

  • Content carries recent dates

    Not measured — no page declares a publication or modification date, so how recently the site was maintained cannot be determined. That is normal for a brochure site and worth fixing for anything article-based.

  • Page titles are unique

    All 12 crawled pages have distinct titles.

  • Pages carry more than their template

    Across 12 page(s), the median page is 67% its own content and the rest navigation, footer and legal text.

    2 affected URLs
  • Pages have enough content

  • Every page has a meta description

    0 of 12 crawled pages have no meta description.

  • Images have alt text

    0 of 212 images across the crawl have no alt attribute. Alt text is how search engines read images and how screen readers describe them.

  • Navigation is present on every page

    Every crawled page carries at least three internal links, so navigation is consistently rendered.

  • Pages are meaningfully different from each other

    No two crawled pages share substantially the same text.

  • No broken internal pages

    All 12 crawled pages returned successfully.

  • Missing pages return a real 404

    No page answers 200 while telling the visitor nothing was found.

  • Each page covers a distinct subject

    Sitemap lists 833 URLs; we reached 12 by crawling. 821 sitemap URLs were not linked from the pages we visited.

  • No dead-end pages

    Every crawled page links onward.

  • Where internal authority goes

    Internal links concentrate authority on the pages below, in order. This is the site's own ranking of itself, derived from how it links — read it against what the business actually sells, because search engines read it the same way. Only the crawled sample is modelled, so this describes the navigation rather than every page.

  • What each page is about

    The terms that distinguish each page from the others on this site — not the most frequent words, but the ones this page uses and the others do not. Read them as what a search engine would take the page to be about, and check that it matches what it is for.

  • Sitemap lastmod dates are meaningfulmedium

    All 833 sitemap URLs share just 1 lastmod value(s), which makes it a build timestamp rather than a real modification date. Google detects this and stops trusting lastmod for the whole site, so genuinely updated pages are no longer recrawled promptly.

    ['2026-08-17', '2026-08-17', '2026-08-17']

    Emit lastmod from the date the page content actually changed, not from the time the sitemap was generated.

  • DNSSEC enabledlow

  • CAA record restricts certificate issuancelow

    No CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue certificates for your domain.

    Publish a CAA record naming the certificate authority you use.

  • Mail server IP is not blacklisted

    Not checked: the blocklists declined queries from this resolver, so reputation could not be confirmed either way. This is excluded from your score rather than guessed at.

  • Certificate history reviewed

    Not measured — the certificate transparency log was unavailable (returned 502).

  • Server log analysis

    Not measured — no log file supplied. Server logs are the only source that shows what Googlebot actually fetched rather than what it could fetch: which pages it spends its crawl on, which it has never asked for, and what it receives when it does.

  • Whole-site analysis

    Not measured — no whole-site crawl has been run for this domain. The audit above reasons from a sample of pages chosen to cover each template, which describes how the site is built. It cannot say how many of the site's pages are indexable, which templates are thin across every instance, or what sits too deep to be crawled — those are counts, and a sample cannot produce one.

  • Redundant nameservers

    3 nameserver(s) configured.

  • No subdomain can be taken over

    Checked 0 subdomain(s); none point at a cloud service that has released them.

  • No unbounded URL spaces

    No filter, session or calendar URLs that would generate an unbounded space were found.

  • Pages are reached without redirect chains

    Every page was reached directly or in a single hop.

  • Crawled URLs return content

    0 of 12 URL(s) followed during this crawl returned a redirect or an error (0%).

  • Certificate is not shared with unrelated domains

    Your certificate covers only your own domain.

  • Sitemap files are within Google's limits

    Every sitemap file is within the 50,000 URL and 50 MB limits.

  • Internal links pass authority

    0 internal link(s) are marked nofollow.

  • Software versions are not disclosed

    No version numbers advertised in response headers.

  • Hosting network identified

    Served from AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc.), announced in 23.227.38.0/23 — a block of 512 addresses.

  • What this audit examined

    12 page(s) were examined, chosen to cover 11 of the 416 distinct page templates found across 833 known URLs. Pages are sampled by template rather than in sitemap order, because the first pages of a sitemap are usually all the same kind — a sample of one template would describe that template rather than the site. Findings below therefore apply to the templates listed, and a fault in a template is normally a fault on every page built from it.

  • JavaScript does not rewrite indexing directivescritical

    JavaScript changes the directives Google acts on after the page loads. The served HTML looks correct to anyone reading the source, and Google indexes what rendering produced — so a canonical or noindex injected at runtime silently overrides everything the server said.

    canonical: served 'https://www.shopify.com/', rendered 'https://www.shopify.com/fr'

    Emit the final canonical and robots directives server-side. Nothing that decides indexing should depend on a script running.

  • Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s (lab)high

    Measured 2.7s on a simulated phone viewport. Google's threshold for 'good' is 2.5s. This is the metric most likely to be costing you both rankings and visitors who leave before the page paints.

    LCP 2730 ms · FCP 1517 ms

    Compress and preload the largest above-the-fold image, and cache the HTML at the edge.

  • Tap targets are big enough to hitmedium

    89 of 104 tappable element(s) are smaller than 48x48 pixels, and 37 sit closer than 8 pixels to a neighbour. On a phone that means links and buttons that are hard to hit without zooming, and mis-taps on a checkout or contact button cost conversions directly.

    Toggle Consent Management Menu (32x32)
    svg (32x32)
    Accept all (100x32)
    Reject (76x32)
    BUTTON (32x32)

    Give tappable elements at least 48x48 CSS pixels and 8 pixels of spacing — usually padding on the link rather than a bigger font.

  • Title is the same before and after JavaScriptmedium

    JavaScript rewrites the page title after load. Google usually indexes the served title, so the one you see in the browser may not be the one shown in search results.

    served:   Shopify: The All-in-One Commerce Platform for Businesses - Shopify
    rendered: Shopify France

    Set the final title server-side rather than changing it in script.

  • The title survives renderingmedium

    The title tag changes after JavaScript runs. Google usually indexes the rendered title, but rendering is queued separately and can lag the first crawl, so for a while the served title is what appears in results.

    served:   Shopify: The All-in-One Commerce Platform for Businesses - Shopify
    rendered: Shopify France

    Render the final title server-side.

  • Content is in the HTML, not built by JavaScript

    The served HTML contains 1259 words and the rendered page 1254 — the content is present before JavaScript runs.

  • The mobile page matches the desktop page

    What the server sends a phone matches what it sends a desktop browser.

  • Navigation links are crawlable without JavaScript

    328 links in the served HTML, 325 after rendering — navigation is discoverable.

  • Layout stays stable while loading (lab)

    Cumulative Layout Shift measured at 0.000 (good is 0.1 or less).

  • No JavaScript errors on load

    The page loaded without JavaScript errors.

  • All page resources load successfully

    Every image, script and stylesheet loaded.

  • The page fits the screen

    The page fits the mobile viewport with no sideways scrolling.

  • No excessive JavaScript blocking

    0 long JavaScript task(s) blocked the main thread while loading.

  • Body text is legible on a phone

    2 of 156 text block(s) render below 12px on a mobile viewport.

  • Reasonable number of requests

    The page made 74 network requests to load.
