Scored against Google’s own numbers, not a plugin’s checklist.

Yes, with no account. The score and the findings appear on screen; the emailed copy is the only step that asks for an address.

Twelve URLs at most. They are spread deliberately over your different page types and then checked against what the sitemap claims exists, so the result exposes template-level patterns instead of enumerating a large catalogue.

Field data from the Chrome User Experience Report for your domain, which is what Google ranks on, with a lab run alongside it for diagnosis. The report always states which of the two it used.

Not meaningfully. Pacing keeps the crawl far beneath any rate limit, and on the rare occasion a store throttles us the output states that plainly rather than marking those pages as failures.

Nothing whatsoever: no app, no snippet, no theme edit, and no access to your Shopify admin. Public pages are the only thing requested.

Shopify generates tag and filter permutations of every collection by default. Left unmanaged they compete with the collection itself for the same query. The audit counts how many of those variants are reachable and indexable.

No. Lighthouse grades a single page in a lab. This grades a sample of your real templates on five pillars, and prefers real-user field data wherever your domain has enough traffic to have it.

Nothing at all, unless you want it to. Send the result over and a senior engineer at ForgeCRO replies in writing with the fix order and a price — you never have to book a call to receive it.
