How this audit score is calculated
This is an independent audit — BL External Links Button's overall score of 91/100 is an excellent overall result, computed as the weighted average of 6 category checks scored against a fixed rubric. The strongest category is Categories & Discoverability (100/100); the weakest is Technical & Support (86/100). The largest single improvement available to this listing is in technical & support — because category weights are fixed, lifting a low score in a heavily-weighted category moves the headline number more than the same lift in a lighter category. AppRanks runs the rubric independently of Shopify App Store and the app developer; the same rubric is applied to every Shopify App Store listing AppRanks audits, and we do not weight by paid relationship, traffic, partnership tier, or any commercial agreement with the developer. The exact category weightings, per-check scoring formulas, and 24-hour refresh cadence are documented on our methodology page; the breakdown below shows exactly which checks moved the score up or down for BL External Links Button specifically.
AppRanks does not accept payment to influence rankings, audit scores, or comparison outcomes. If a developer disputes a number, the underlying Shopify App Store App Store listing is always the ground truth — our snapshot is at most one refresh cycle behind. Email [email protected] with the URL and the discrepancy and we'll investigate within 24 hours.
