Store Health vs GhostCode
GhostCode and Store Health are the closest match on this list. Both are read-only, and both trace leftover app code back to a file and line in your theme.
The difference is scope. GhostCode goes deeper on theme cleanup: app signatures, malicious script domains, and the script tag shutdown. Store Health also scans the store data around the theme: products, discounts, metafields, files, links, and AI visibility.
Store Health is our app. Details about GhostCode come only from its official Shopify App Store listing as of October 2026. "Not listed" means the listing does not mention it, not that the app lacks it.
