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.
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 domain is configured the way the top tier of senders are.
Mailboxes here are consistently real and reachable. Mailbox quality at your domain ranks in the 88th percentile of domains we have verified enough addresses at to judge.
First measured 2026-07-16.
Loaded in a real browser at phone size. This is close to what a visitor and Google's renderer see.

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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
These do not share a root cause with anything else on the report.
Fixes 1 finding: Title is the same before and after JavaScript
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
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
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
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
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
Ranked by severity, then by how much score each returns.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
How to fix: Link these from a relevant parent page, your navigation, or a hub page.
Whether the connection, certificate and headers hold up.
Missing. Limits where scripts may load from, which is the main defence against injected code and card skimmers.
Add a Content-Security-Policy header, starting in report-only mode.
Cookies are set without the Secure and/or HttpOnly flags, so they can be read by scripts or sent over insecure connections.

Negotiated TLSv1.3.
HSTS is set.
MIME sniffing protection is set.
Whether your mail reaches inboxes or spam folders.
No MTA-STS policy, so mail to you can be delivered unencrypted if an attacker strips TLS.
Publish an MTA-STS policy and the _mta-sts TXT record.
No TLS-RPT record, so delivery-encryption failures go unreported.
Publish a _smtp._tls TXT record with a reporting address.
DKIM keys published on selector(s): google, mail.
5 mail server(s) configured.
Ends in ~all (soft fail) — the usual safe setting.
The record forces about 3 DNS lookups. Comfortably within the limit of 10.
Aggregate reports are being sent to a reporting address.
One SPF record, as required.
DMARC policy is p=reject.
BIMI record present — your logo can appear beside your emails.
How fast real visitors experience the site.
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.
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.
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.
Served with gzip compression.
Median response across 12 page(s) was 93 ms.
Homepage HTML is 417 KB.
0 external script file(s) on the homepage.
Pages may be cached by browsers and CDNs.
29 image(s) are served as WebP or AVIF.
47 of 52 images use lazy loading.
The tags, files and signals search engines read first.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not measured — ranking data is not configured on this instance.
Homepage is open to indexing.
Mobile viewport is declared.
Sitemap found listing 833 URLs.
Description is 142 characters.

Structured data found: ContactPoint, Corporation.
robots.txt present and open to search engines.
Every canonical points at a page that is allowed to be indexed.
Every hreflang reference is reciprocated by the page it names.
Canonical targets all return 200.
All structured data blocks are valid JSON.
No page relies on a directive Google is blocked from reading.
Every hreflang value is a valid language or language-region code.
Every marked-up entity carries the properties Google requires.
10 of 12 crawled page(s) (83%) can actually be indexed.
Every page with hreflang annotations includes itself.
Every hreflang target is a live, indexable page.
Identified as Corporation.
No canonical points at a page that then canonicals somewhere else.
Every sitemap URL is its own canonical.
All structured data is present in the HTML the server sends.
Every major assistant is allowed to read and cite these pages.
Every crawled page sits within four levels of the homepage (deepest: 4).
6 Open Graph tags found.
An x-default version is declared for visitors whose language matches none of your versions.
URLs use lowercase, hyphenated, extension-free paths.
0 of 12 crawled URLs carry query parameters other than tracking tags.
Language attribute present.
5 twitter: tag(s) found.
2 structured data object(s) across 12 page(s): ContactPoint, Corporation.
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.
Whether pages are unique, linked and crawlable.
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.
Link these from a relevant parent page, your navigation, or a hub page.
2 of 12 crawled pages are set to noindex. If any of these are meant to bring in traffic, they currently cannot. 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.
Review each and remove noindex where the page should rank.
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.
shopify.com/ 0.2% shopify.com/careers 0.2% [utility] shopify.com/investors 0.2% shopify.com/news 0.2% shopify.com/climate 0.2% shopify.com/partners 0.2% shopify.com/affiliates 0.2% shopify.com/partners/directory 0.2%
9 crawled page(s) are not linked from any other page we fetched. A page reachable only from a sitemap receives no internal authority at all, and is crawled rarely — it can rank, but it starts from nothing and stays there.
shopify.com/investors/ir-direct shopify.com/resource/ai-series shopify.com/compare/time-to-value shopify.com/first-sale/seo-checklist shopify.com/print-on-demand/dog-tags shopify.com/legal/eu-terms
Link them from a relevant hub page or from navigation, using the subject as the link text.
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.
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.
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.
All 12 crawled pages have distinct titles.
Across 12 page(s), the median page is 67% its own content and the rest navigation, footer and legal text.
All 12 crawled pages carry substantial content.
0 of 12 crawled pages have no meta description.
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.
Every crawled page carries at least three internal links, so navigation is consistently rendered.
No two crawled pages share substantially the same text.
All 12 crawled pages returned successfully.
No page answers 200 while telling the visitor nothing was found.
No two crawled pages appear to target the same subject.
Every page's body covers the subject its title and heading announce.
All 12 descriptions found are distinct.
Authorship is declared.
5 of 2250 internal link(s) use text like 'click here' or no text at all.
No phrase dominates a page's text.
An about or contact page is linked.
Median reading ease is 60.1 — readable.
2 of 12 pages do not have exactly one H1 heading.
No multi-step redirects found.
Sitemap lists 833 URLs; we reached 12 by crawling. 821 sitemap URLs were not linked from the pages we visited.
Every crawled page links onward.
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.
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.
What Google needs to place you in map results.
Not applicable — nothing on this site indicates a physical location customers visit: no address, phone link, opening hours, map or local business markup. Local search checks are skipped and do not affect the score. If you do serve customers from premises, publishing an address and phone number is the place to start.
DNS, hosting and delivery configuration.
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.
ahopify.com [mail configured] hopify.com [mail configured] sgopify.com [mail configured] shhopify.com [mail configured] shoopify.com [mail configured] shopfy.com [mail configured] shopidy.com [mail configured] shopify-app.com [mail configured]
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.
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 is not enabled, so DNS answers for your domain can't be cryptographically verified.
Enable DNSSEC at your DNS provider.
No CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue certificates for your domain.
Publish a CAA record naming the certificate authority you use.
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.
Not measured — the certificate transparency log was unavailable (returned 502).
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.
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.
3 nameserver(s) configured.
Checked 0 subdomain(s); none point at a cloud service that has released them.
No filter, session or calendar URLs that would generate an unbounded space were found.
Every page was reached directly or in a single hop.
0 of 12 URL(s) followed during this crawl returned a redirect or an error (0%).
Your certificate covers only your own domain.
Every sitemap file is within the 50,000 URL and 50 MB limits.
0 internal link(s) are marked nofollow.
No version numbers advertised in response headers.
Served from AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc.), announced in 23.227.38.0/23 — a block of 512 addresses.
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.
Who links to this site, with what text, and how that compares.
Not measured — off-page data is not configured on this instance.
The site loaded in a real browser, the way a visitor and a crawler get it.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
The served HTML contains 1259 words and the rendered page 1254 — the content is present before JavaScript runs.
What the server sends a phone matches what it sends a desktop browser.
328 links in the served HTML, 325 after rendering — navigation is discoverable.

BounceZero Ltd does this work: technical remediation, local SEO and email deliverability. Tell us what you want fixed and we'll reply with what it takes. No call required, no obligation.
We re-audit on a schedule and email you only when a check that was passing starts failing. That is usually a recent change to the site or its DNS, and it is findable while still fresh. No digest, no newsletter.
Monitoring means repeatedly fetching your site and emailing about it, so we ask you to prove you own shopify.com first.
