No server code. Shopify runs no server code of yours and sits in front of its own CDN, so the agent cannot be installed on the store itself.
Shopify runs no server code of yours and sits in front of its own CDN, so the agent cannot be installed on the store itself. What works: the page check from outside on every page, the free tools, and — if your domain's DNS is on Cloudflare with proxying on — a Cloudflare Worker in front of the store, which can count visits and serve /llms.txt.
What it does not: without a place to run, the agent cannot count visits or apply switches on this host — put a Cloudflare Worker in front of it, or move the domain to a host with middleware.
The Cloudflare Workers guide → is the route for a host that runs no code of yours.
How installing the agent works, in general → · what the agent does and never does →
No. Installing puts the agent in place and binds it to the site by its token; nothing is applied. Every switch is your click in the dashboard and every word it writes is shown to you first.
Nothing was installed on this host; the Cloudflare Worker, if you used one, is removed in Cloudflare.
The 23 checks run from outside on every page check. The free tools read the site the way AI does. Without a place to run, the agent cannot count visits or apply switches on this host — put a Cloudflare Worker in front of it, or move the domain to a host with middleware.
Yes — it belongs to this one site and should live in an environment variable, never in a file you commit. It grants nothing beyond this site, and the domain proof refuses it from any other host.
The 23 checks run from outside before anything is installed — you see what the agent would do before it does it.
