Shopify App Audits | Optimise Your Shopify Website
What Are Shopify App Audits?
Shopify App Audits are the process of running through all apps installed on your Shopify store and checking they are being used and are required. A lot of Shopify users add apps for additional functionality that often is offered in their theme or could be added with a small code change.
What is the Benefit of Keeping Shopify Apps to a Minimum?
There are many benefits to keeping down the number of apps on your Shopify store.
Monthly Costs
Apps can be expensive, especially when you have lots of premium apps installed on your store. Shopify often appears to be a very affordable solutions but the reality is that using multple apps can make it very expensive compared to other platforms.
Website Speed
Have lots of apps on your Shopify store can slow it down, this has a negative impact on the user experience and organic search rankings. Reducing the number of apps reduces the number of scripts running and in turn improves site speed.
Website Administration
Reducing the number of Shopify apps also makes it easier for staff, freelancers or agencies to update the store.
How Does The Audit Process Work?
To get your Shopify website audited I will need access to the admin, this can be done by adding me as a collaborator under my Shopify Partners account. Once I have access, that allows me to log in and audit the apps you have installed.
How Much Does a Shopify App Audit Cost?
I charge £249+VAT per store for Shopify App Audits and a lot of clients find that this pays for itself due to the saving in recurring app payments.
What Do I Get From the Audit?
After the Shopify Audit has been completed I will send you a Google Doc with all of the apps that are being used and where. It will also detail all of the apps that are either not in use or could be replaced with free alternatives, whether that be a replacement app or a code change. These changes can be done by your own development resource or I can quote for how much it would be to carry out the work.
