The Cassian Score™
The Cassian Score is a single metric from 0 to 100 that tells you exactly how healthy your Shopify store is. Weighted across 5 categories, updated with every scan, and designed to be the most meaningful number in your ecommerce toolkit.
Your store is in great shape.
Technical Health
Content Quality
Translation Accuracy
Platform Consistency
LLM Readiness
Five categories
Each category contributes a weighted portion to your overall Cassian Score. Here's exactly what we measure and why it matters.
The foundation. Broken links, page speed, schema markup, meta tags, redirects, SSL enforcement, alt text, canonicals, mobile rendering. If your store has a technical problem, this is where it shows up.
Words matter. Cassian AI™ analyses every piece of content on your store for spelling, grammar, readability, completeness, and originality. Thin product descriptions and duplicate copy drag this score down.
If you sell in multiple languages, this category matters. Every translation is compared against the source text. Machine translation artifacts, untranslated fragments, and missing translations all count against you.
What’s in your Shopify admin should match what’s on your storefront. Cassian connects to the GraphQL API and compares backend data against rendered pages. Mismatches in prices, descriptions, or images are flagged.
AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are sending traffic to stores right now. This category measures whether your content is structured for machines to understand and recommend.
What your score means
Your Cassian Score tells you exactly where you stand. No ambiguity.
Everything is working well. Minor optimisations might exist, but nothing urgent. Cassian monitors for regressions so you can focus on growing your business.
Your store is solid, but there are issues worth addressing. Maybe some translations need attention, or a few product pages are missing structured data. Nothing critical, but fixing them will improve your score and your customer experience.
There are meaningful issues that could be affecting your customers or your search visibility. Cassian prioritises them so you know exactly where to start. Most stores at this level can improve significantly with a few focused fixes.
Not another SEO score
Lighthouse measures page performance and accessibility for a single URL. The Cassian Score measures your entire store’s health across five dimensions — including content quality, translation accuracy, and platform consistency. Lighthouse can’t tell you that your Italian sale banner actually says “salt.”
SEO tools measure backlinks, keyword rankings, and crawl issues. They’re built for SEO professionals. The Cassian Score is built for Shopify store owners who want to know “is my store OK?” in plain English. It includes checks that SEO tools don’t — like backend vs frontend consistency and translation quality.
Shopify’s built-in tools focus on store setup and basic SEO. They don’t analyse content quality, score translations, validate structured data against Google’s requirements, or check whether your store is ready for AI search. Cassian goes deeper because store health is all we do.
Yes. Your score reflects the state of your store at the time of each scan. If you fix issues, your score goes up. If something breaks, it goes down. That’s the point — it’s a living metric, not a one-time audit.
