What we look at

Four things a stranger can find out about your store before lunch

  1. 01

    Your product list

    Every Shopify store publishes one by default and most owners have never looked at it. Names, descriptions, prices, sizes, SKUs, stock levels. No password. We pull yours and show you the first five.

  2. 02

    Your prices, page by page

    If that list is switched off, we read your product pages instead and lift the prices straight out of the code Google reads. Locking the list slows a copycat down. It does not stop one.

  3. 03

    What is watching your visitors

    We look for an app that checks who is coming in, and for anything sitting in front of your domain. Most stores have neither.

  4. 04

    What you tell the bots

    Your robots.txt file and your sitemap. One is the note asking bots to behave, the other is a tidy map of every product page you own. We check what yours actually say.

Cordon's visitor log inside the Shopify admin, showing each visit, the country it came from, the network behind it, and the rule that stopped it

The scan shows you one moment in time. This is the same information running all day, once Cordon is on.

A real store, last week

One copycat was three quarters of their entire traffic.

A jewellery store switched Cordon on and found a single operation, running off rented servers in Singapore, working through their product pages around the clock. The owner had no idea. Most owners do not, because nothing in Shopify tells you.

What the log looks like with Cordon running.

After the scan

The scan is a snapshot. This is the part that keeps watching.

Everything lives inside your Shopify admin. No new login, nothing else to remember.

The Cordon dashboard showing visitors, blocked and allowed counts, monthly usage, top blocked countries and the reasons traffic was stopped
See who is actually visiting. Real customers, bots and rented servers, split apart.
Blocking a country in Cordon: search for a country and block it with a single click
Shut a door in one click. By country, by network, or by a single address.

What this will not tell you

It cannot see inside your store, so it cannot tell you who is copying you right now or how much of your traffic is real people. You only find that out by watching over time.

And we are not going to pretend that adding an app hides your product list. That file comes from Shopify, not from your theme, and nothing in the App Store can switch it off. Anyone telling you different is selling you something. What you can decide is whether the same copycat gets to come back ten thousand times a day.

Frequently asked questions

Is it actually free?

Yes, and you do not have to sign up for anything. The whole report shows up on screen. We built it because most store owners have never seen what their store hands over to anyone who asks, and once you have seen it, you do not really need us to explain the rest.

Is it safe to run on my store?

Yes. We look at seven pages that are already public, the same ones Google looks at every day, and we tell your store it is us the whole time. We never log in, never go near your checkout, and never change a thing. It is less traffic than one person having a browse.

Do you keep my product data?

No. The handful of products in your report go straight to your screen and nowhere else. We do not save any of it.

Can Cordon fix everything in the report?

No, and the report tells you which bits it cannot. Your product list comes from Shopify itself, not from your theme, so no app can hide it. What Cordon does stop is the copycats, bots and rented servers that come back to your store over and over again.

What if my store is password protected?

Then we cannot see in either, which is an answer of sorts. Run it again once you are open.

Does it work on stores that are not Shopify?

Not yet. Everything it checks is built around how Shopify stores are put together.
