Shopify CRO Audit Checklist: 50 Things to Check Before Launch
Conducting a structured CRO audit is the first step toward fixing hidden conversion bottlenecks on your Shopify store
A single broken image script, hidden add-to-cart button, or slow checkout field can leak thousands of dollars in revenue every month
Use our 50-point Shopify CRO audit checklist to systematically evaluate your homepage, collection pages, product pages, cart drawer, and checkout flow.
Implementation Paths
1) Technical Speed & Infrastructure Checkpoints
Audit LCP under 2.0s, CLS under 0.1, liquid code quality, image compression (WebP/AVIF), and removal of unused app scripts.
3) Product Page (PDP) Conversion Checkpoints
Inspect star ratings near title, variant pills, sticky mobile Buy Bar, shipping timeline indicators, and collapsible accordions.
4) Cart Drawer & Upsell Checkpoints
Confirm slide-out AJAX cart drawer, dynamic free shipping bar meter, 1-click upsells, and express checkout buttons.
5) Checkout & Trust Checkpoints
Check guest checkout configuration, Google Places address auto-fill, visible security logos, and policy page links.
