Free Shopify SEO audit · Aqsa Shahzad Official LLC
Free Shopify SEO audit: scored the way Google scores it, not a plugin’s guess.
Paste your store. The audit pulls field data from real Chrome users, runs a lab pass on the templates that carry revenue, then crawls collections, tags and filtered URLs. No sign-up to see the score.

Every finding, with the evidence beside it
A score out of 100 across five pillars, page-by-page detail so you fix templates rather than pages, and the fix order that moves the score first.

What the audit checks
Six things a plugin score cannot tell you.
Every check comes with the evidence behind it, so you fix the template, not the page.
- Core Web Vitals
- LCP, INP and CLS from the Chrome UX Report — what real visitors experienced over the last 28 days — with a lab pass on the home, collection and product templates. The report says which it used.
- Indexability and crawl health
- robots.txt, HTTPS enforcement, sitemap accuracy, canonicals and broken internal links, across a sample of up to 12 pages chosen by page type.
- On-page
- Title and description lengths, H1 count, heading structure and the duplication across pages that a Shopify catalogue produces on its own.
- Structured data
- Product, Review, Breadcrumb and Organization markup — and where it is missing on the pages that should carry it.
- Collections, tags and filters
- The filtered and tagged URLs Shopify generates by default, and which of them are being crawled and indexed instead of the collection itself.
- Scripts and images
- The apps and third-party scripts behind a slow LCP, and the unsized or oversized images behind layout shift.
How the audit works
Real users first, the lab only as a fallback.
“You pass in the lab” and “you pass for real users” are not the same claim. A report that blurs them is worse than no report.
Speed scores come from the PageSpeed Insights API, which returns two very different things. Field data (CrUX) is what real Chrome users experienced over the last 28 days — that is what Google ranks on. Lab data is a simulation on Google’s hardware: useful for diagnosis, but not the ranking signal.
The report prefers field data and only falls back to lab when a store has too little traffic to have a CrUX record — and it says which was used. The crawl reads up to 12 pages chosen across page types, reconciled against your sitemap, with requests paced so it never trips your store’s rate limiting.
Straight answers.
How long does the Shopify SEO audit take?
About 45 seconds, or up to a minute when Core Web Vitals data is being fetched from Google.
How many pages does it crawl?
Up to 12, chosen across page types rather than at random, then reconciled against your sitemap. It is a sample designed to find patterns — it will not enumerate every duplicate title on a 50,000-URL catalogue.
Will it slow my store down?
No. Requests are deliberately paced so the crawl never trips your store’s rate limiting. If we do get throttled, the report says so rather than reporting your site as broken.
Do I need to install anything?
No. No app, no script, no theme change, no admin access. We crawl what is already public — the same pages Google sees.
What happens after the audit?
Nothing, unless you want it to. The report has a button that sends the result to us; an engineer replies in writing within 12 hours with what we would fix first and a fixed price. No call is needed to get that answer.
