Does LinkGuard check external websites?
No. Its scan is for supported internal Shopify resource links. Use a separate HTTP checker when you need to validate arbitrary external destinations or rendered theme links.
Will the scan change my store?
A scan produces findings. You review a finding and confirm a redirect if that is the repair you want.
Why can a working URL need another look?
Shopify has built-in paths, collection-scoped product URLs, storefront publication rules, and existing redirects. LinkGuard resolves supported cases, but you should verify the actual storefront path before treating a finding as a customer-facing failure.
Does dismissing a finding fix the link?
No. Dismissal applies to that scan. If the source still points to a broken resource, a later scan may report it again.
Can I install LinkGuard now?
Public installation is not confirmed. The last recorded review status is paused until November 13, 2026. Contact support for current availability; existing authorized stores can use Shopify sign-in.
