Published audits

We pick a storefront nobody asked us to look at, read it end to end, and publish the whole thing.

Every finding is quoted from the page it came from, with the work it takes to fix. The audits are free, unpaid and ungated, and no store is named.

How the audits are made

We pick a store nobody asked us to look at, usually one that is running ads, and read it the way a shopper would: the homepage, the menu, the biggest categories, the highest-priced product pages, the cart, the policy pages, and the store's own public sitemap. Public pages only. No analytics, admin or ad-account access is requested or used, so nothing in an audit estimates traffic, conversion or revenue.

Every finding quotes the string as it appears on the page, with the store's name, its product names and its collection names redacted inside brackets. Each one carries an effort figure, in hours or days: what the fix would take a developer who knows the platform. Findings are ordered by impact over effort, and every audit says what is already working, because that is usually the argument for fixing the rest.

The audits are ungated because a document you can hand to whoever already works on the store is worth more to you, and says more about us, than a form would. If you want one for your own store, send the URL.
