The two main findings

  1. 1, High impact

    International

    Your French pages tell Google that a different page is the original, so abroad Google tends to show that one instead.

  2. 2, High impact

    International

    Your French pages reach Google in German: the server delivers German, and the translation only happens in the browser.

What the check covers

Nine areas where Shopify stores most often lose revenue or money.

  • No AI model, only verifiable measurements
  • Public pages only, your robots.txt applies
  • No access to the store admin needed

Being found

  • Google abroad

    Language linking (hreflang), default version, sitemap and canonicals.

  • Prices and stars on Google

    Product data on the product pages: price, stock, reviews.

Buying

  • Your customers' language

    How much text on the home page, collection and products is still in the source language.

  • Loading time on phones

    Real visitors' values from Google's Chrome data, otherwise a lab test.

  • Payment methods and currency

    Whether every market sees its usual payment method and its currency.

Costs and risk

  • Apps and their costs

    Detected apps, duplicate jobs, how much script they load, list prices as an estimate.

  • Tracking before consent

    What the home page sends to advertising and analytics services before anyone has agreed.

  • Accessibility

    Automated test of the home page against WCAG 2.1: contrast, alt texts, labels.

  • State of your theme

    Version compared with the Theme Store, leftovers of uninstalled apps.

What your result looks like

Example: a made-up test store, no real customer data.

Assumptions

  • Revenue abroad = annual revenue × share abroad. The findings on Google abroad and translation act on it.
  • Loading time affects every market: with a loading time finding we also apply the increase to domestic revenue.
  • If conversion rises by the value you set, this revenue rises by the same share. Default: 5 %.
  • Lower bound: 60 % of that, because not every finding has its full effect.
  • Not included: effort and time until it takes effect. App costs are shown separately, as App Store list prices (USD, estimate).

For context: 76 % of online shoppers prefer to buy with product information in their own language (CSA Research, 2020). Loading 0.1 s faster brought retail sites 8.4 % more conversions on average (Deloitte for Google, 2020). Study values, not a commitment for your store.

From a real project: at LOULEX the investment had paid for itself after about nine months, from the dropped licence costs alone. The SEO gain comes on top. See the case study

Questions about the check

Does the check cost anything?

No. You see the main findings right away and without signing up. The full check with every fix comes in exchange for your email address; in it, KL also presents its own Shopify services. Unsubscribing takes one click.

Does the check change anything in my store?

No. It only reads public pages, like a visitor, and follows your robots.txt. It needs no access to the store admin.

Which stores does it work for?

For Shopify stores with a theme and for headless stores on Shopify. If it detects another shop system, it tells you.

How accurate are the results?

It is an automated assessment from a sample of public pages. Loading times come from Google's real-user data where available. The lever in euros is a projection from your input, not a promise.

What happens to my email address?

You get the full findings, the personal assessment and Store Watch: a new check every month, with a note when something in your store changes. Without a reaction this ends after 12 months. You can unsubscribe at any time with one click in every email.
