Priorities
| Area | What to watch |
|---|---|
| Collections | Treat them as category landing pages with useful text |
| Products | Unique descriptions, specs, reviews |
| Duplicate URLs | Products reachable through several paths |
| Apps | Too many scripts slow the store |
| Structured data | Accurate product and review data |
