When Shopify reliability starts to slip

Your Store Needs a Detox

I help established brands make messy Shopify stores safer to work on again, with senior cleanup, reliability, and technical debt support.

Storefront Detox helps teams find the hidden mess in fragile themes, overloaded app stacks, and code nobody wants to touch before another app update, campaign launch, agency handoff, or AI-generated snippet turns into a revenue problem.

A lot of Shopify stores are held together by old theme edits, half-removed apps, duplicate scripts, custom cart logic, subscription widgets, tracking pixels, and small fixes from too many hands over too many years.

That does not always show up as an obvious broken page. Sometimes it shows up as slower product pages, fragile add-to-cart behavior, mystery console errors, duplicated tracking, cart drawer weirdness, or a team that is scared to make simple updates.

SHOPIFY MESS CHECK

We'll Figure Out What's Going On

Shopify Mess Check is a lightweight storefront review that combines automated inspection with senior Shopify judgment.

It looks at the public storefront from the outside: visible app/script complexity, console and network errors, product/cart flow signals, tracking clutter, performance clues, accessibility red flags, and possible technical debt indicators.

No Shopify admin access required. It does not modify your store and it is not a full private codebase audit. If the scan shows deeper risk, the next step is a Shopify Rescue Audit.

APP

App & Script Complexity

Visible app bloat, third-party scripts, inline scripts, heavy assets, and tools that may be touching revenue-critical pages.

CART

PDP & Cart Flow

Product page basics, add-to-cart signals, cart page/drawer behavior, checkout button presence, and subscription/cart risk areas.

PIXELS

Tracking & Analytics Clutter

Possible duplicate tracking setups, overlapping analytics scripts, GTM/GA4/Meta/TikTok-style signals, and storefront tracking complexity.

ERRORS

Console & Network Issues

JavaScript errors, failed requests, missing scripts, blocked assets, and repeated browser issues that may affect storefront behavior.

WEIGHT

Performance Clues

Large JS/CSS/image files, render-blocking clues, third-party domain count, and page-weight signals.

UX & Accessibility Red Flags

Buttons without accessible names, missing alt text, duplicate IDs, mobile friction, and obvious usability concerns.

DEBT

Technical Debt Signals

Duplicate cart drawers, abandoned app containers, console logs, staging/test artifacts, and other "why is this here?" storefront clues.

AI Code Cleanup

Copy-pasted AI snippets, orphaned scripts, broken selectors, redundant logic, and confidently-wrong edits that quietly break storefront behavior.

Submit your store URL

Send the store URL and any product, collection, or cart issues you already know about. I'll take it from there as no admin access is required to get started.

I run the Mess Check

The storefront is scanned from the outside and reviewed for app/script complexity, PDP/cart risk, tracking clutter, visible errors, and technical debt signals.

You get the report

You receive a branded PDF and private HTML report with plain-English findings, severity labels, screenshots where helpful, and a recommended next step.

Decide what to do next

If the store looks clean, great. If the scan surfaces deeper risk, the next step may be a Shopify Rescue Audit, Cleanup Sprint, or monthly reliability plan.

PRIVATE WORK

Quiet work for serious Shopify teams.

Most of this work happens behind the scenes: cleaning up fragile theme code, stabilizing app integrations, fixing cart and subscription issues, and helping brands recover from messy handoffs.

Because this work often involves private codebases, internal processes, and past agency decisions, I do not publicly list client names without permission.

The goal is simple: make the store safer, cleaner, and easier to work on without turning someone else's technical mess into public marketing material.

RECENT WORK HAS INCLUDED

Full modernization of multiple large Shopify stores
Theme pruning for a subscription-heavy Shopify storefront
Stabilizing Rebuy/cart behavior around custom theme code
Debugging Skio/ReCharge-style subscription flows
Cleaning up PDP code touched by multiple developers
Reviewing duplicate scripts and tracking clutter
Making stores safer to update before campaign work
Review agency handoffs and clean-up legacy code

I have worked behind the scenes on Shopify stores and subscription ecosystems where stability, cart behavior, and checkout flow directly affect millions in recurring revenue.

DIRECT SENIOR WORK

Senior Shopify work, handled directly.

When you work with Storefront Detox, you work directly with me.

I do not outsource Shopify cleanup, cart fixes, subscription debugging, code reviews, or theme stabilization work. I keep the client list small so I can stay close to the code and understand the store.

I am a Los Angeles-based developer, born and raised, with 18+ years of hands-on development experience and deep experience across Shopify themes, app-heavy storefronts, subscriptions, cart drawers, tracking, and messy agency handoffs.

Good fit

Established Shopify brand
Theme-based Shopify storefront
Multiple apps touching the storefront
Subscription, bundle, cart, or B2B complexity
Past agency/developer handoffs
Team is nervous to make changes
Store needs senior technical eyes without hiring full-time

Not a fit

Headless Shopify builds
Hydrogen storefronts
Full custom React storefronts
Brand-new stores with no budget
Teams looking for the cheapest task-by-task developer
24/7 on-call emergency coverage
Non-Shopify platforms

This service is for Shopify Online Store 2.0/theme-based storefronts. I do not take on headless Shopify, Hydrogen, or custom React storefront cleanup through this offer.

AVAILABILITY

A small client list by design.

I am not building a giant agency or taking on every Shopify request that comes through the door.

I work best with a few established brands that need a senior technical partner to clean up messy theme code, stabilize app integrations, and keep the store safer to update.
