The Bot Split - Free Shopify Traffic Audit
39% of your traffic isn't human.
Free. No card. Takes about ten minutes.
Your Shopify dashboard counts bots as sessions and never tells you which is which. On a real store I pulled apart, 3,081 sessions turned out to be 1,197 bots and 1,884 humans. Thirty-nine percent.
That store had been calculating its conversion rate against 3,081 for a year. Every decision made off that number was distorted.
Inside, free: the five ShopifyQL queries your analytics dashboard cannot run - including the bot split - and the undocumented URL trick that runs them. Not an app, not a subscription. Your own Shopify admin, used properly.
Query 2 is the one that changes decisions. It shows whether your "month of traffic" was actually one afternoon. On that store it was: 270 people on one Tuesday, then nothing. 270 views predicts 3-6 orders, so getting zero is a coin flip, not a broken store. Knowing the difference stops you tearing down something that works.
Also included: the pixel trap. Grep your page source for fbq( and find nothing? Your pixel is probably fine - Shopify loads it in a sandbox where it's invisible. People reinstall working pixels over this constantly. The two tests that actually work are in here.
Why free: once you've run the bot split on your own store and seen the number, you'll know whether the paid Store Autopsy Kit is worth $39 to you. I'd rather you find out for nothing first.
