Check 7 / 16 LOW impact Free
Remove 'Powered by Shopify' everywhere
What this check is
The “Powered by Shopify” line in the footer tells every visitor that the store runs on an unmodified theme, and it links away from your catalogue. Removing it is a small edit with an outsized effect on how finished the store looks.
How to implement it
Edit the theme footer, remove the powered-by block, and clear the same string from the checkout branding under Settings → Checkout when the plan allows it. Keep the rest of the footer intact so you do not lose the policy links that sit next to it.
How to verify it
Search the rendered homepage, a product page and the cart for the string “Powered by Shopify” and confirm no matches remain after the theme is published.
