Store Foundation checklist

16 checks · 16 free · priority and impact rated

Everything else compounds on this layer. A store that ships to the wrong currency, shows a broken favicon in the browser tab, or hides its policies reads as untrustworthy before a shopper has seen a single product. Work these 16 checks first, then move on — they are cheap to fix and they affect every page on the site.
