9. App details
Long-form descriptionAI Speed
Slow pages quietly cost you sales and search rankings. AI Speed fixes the causes automatically: it analyzes your store, optimizes theme templates on a safe copy, compresses images to modern formats with AI-written alt text, defers heavy scripts, and improves Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS). Your design, layout, and functionality never change. Every fix is previewed, backed up, and reversible in one click, and real-user monitoring flags regressions before they hurt revenue.
Smart SEO AI & Image Optimizer
Smart SEO covers classic SEO and the new AI search era in one app. AI writes your meta tags, alt text, and product descriptions, and helps you optimize images, page speed, structured data, and broken links. Improve indexing with IndexNow automation, noindex tags, and sitemap control. AEO & GEO tools take you beyond Google: LLM Catalog helps AI assistants discover and recommend your products, while the MCP server lets AI agents analyze your store's visibility and deliver invaluable insights.
