What actually happens

1

We read your public feed

The same product data your storefront already serves to any visitor. No login, no app, no access to orders or customers.

2

Eleven checks run

Sold-out pages still live, duplicate titles, thin descriptions, missing alt text, broken compare-at prices, absent structured data.

3

You get a score and a list

Ranked by how much each problem is likely costing you, with your percentile against stores in your own category.

If you would rather not fix it yourself

The scan is free and always will be. This is what it costs to have someone do the work. Fixed price, agreed before anything starts.

Most stores start here

See what is included

Quarterly price watch

$290 AUD per quarter
  • Rescanned every quarter, compared against every previous scan
  • Any wrong comparison price that comes back, flagged
  • Anything sitting on the same 'was' price too long, with how long
  • Your position against other Australian stores in your category
See what is included

A permanent discount is only visible in the price history, and your admin does not keep one. That is the only thing on this page a single scan of your own store cannot tell you.

What you actually get

Every paid job ends with the same three files. This is a real one, generated from a real store's public feed.

HTML
The report Every affected product listed by name, with the count, the share of your catalogue, and what to do about it. Open it, or print it to PDF. See a real one.
CSV
The work list The same products as a spreadsheet, with URLs and prices, so whoever does the work can tick them off.
SCAN
Before and after The same scan run again when the work is finished, so the change is a number rather than a claim.

Who you are dealing with

Udith Hasanga — goes by Arch. Web developer, based in Sydney. I built the scanner on this page and ran it against 877 Australian stores myself, which is where every number on this site comes from. There is no team and no call centre; if you email arch@deadsku.com it reaches me.

I would rather tell you your store is fine and not invoice you than sell you a job you do not need. That is not modesty, it is that this only works if the numbers are worth trusting.

This is new, and you would be early. I have been paid for freelance work before — $30,000 across 43 jobs on Upwork at a 4.86 rating — but that was 3D and NFT art, not ecommerce. There are no ecommerce testimonials on this page because there are no ecommerce clients yet. Instead of asking you to trust a quote from a stranger, here is a real report you can open right now.

The free scan needs nothing

  • No login, no password, no app install
  • No Shopify permissions of any kind
  • Reads only the product feed your storefront already serves to any visitor
  • Nothing to uninstall afterwards

A paid job, and its limits

  • You add me as staff or collaborator with product permissions only
  • You remove that access the day the work is finished
  • I never see orders, customers, payouts or payment details
  • I do not touch your theme code, your apps, or your settings
Is this safe? What are you actually reading?

Only what your storefront already serves to any visitor: your public product feed and a few product pages. No login, no app install, no access to orders or customers. Nothing in your store is ever changed.

Where does the benchmark come from?

We scanned 877 Australian Shopify stores in August 2026 and kept the score distribution. Your percentile is your position in that sample, not an invented industry average. Two categories are big enough to stand on their own, 145 coffee roasters and 46 fashion stores, so those get their own benchmark. Everything else is compared against the full 877 and the page says so.

Every store in that number was checked to be Australian, either by its .au domain or by what the storefront itself reports. Stores we could not confirm were left out rather than counted.

Why is a sold-out product a problem?

Often it isn't. Plenty of brands keep them live on purpose. It matters when those pages are still indexed and still soaking up paid clicks that can never convert. The report shows you which ones so you can decide for yourself.

What do you do with my email?
