# Your storefront is probably failing accessibility, search and speed checks, and nobody has told you

The storeconnect-theme-review skill gives an AI agent a read-only health check for your StoreConnect storefront. It finds the problems, ranks them by severity and changes nothing.

[Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers) or [watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo).

## Almost every website has accessibility failures, and the legal risk is rising

The odds aren't in your favor. WebAIM's 2026 analysis of the top one million home pages found 95.9% had detectable WCAG 2 failures, averaging 56.1 errors per page, with low-contrast text on 83.9% of pages[^1]. Federal website accessibility lawsuit filings in the US reached 3,117 in 2025, up 27% on the prior year, according to Seyfarth Shaw data[^2].

Every one of those failures is also a customer who couldn't finish what they came to do. The review skill checks your theme's accessibility alongside layout integrity, so you see the issues before a customer or a complaint does.

## Search problems hide in templates nobody looks at

Search is still the front door for most sites. BrightEdge research found organic search drove 53.3% of trackable website traffic across industries in its 2019 analysis[^3]. Missing structured data, duplicate titles or broken layout markup can quietly shrink that share.

The skill reviews SEO and structured data, responsive images, caching, forms and translations, and it can run an optional content-completeness pass and a Lighthouse pass. Findings come back as a severity-ranked report with before-and-after code and the user-facing impact of each issue[^4], so the business can see what matters and the developers can see what to fix.

## Slow pages lose sales you never see

Speed problems don't produce complaints. They produce empty carts. Deloitte and Google's research found a 0.1 second improvement in mobile site speed lifted retail conversions by 8.4%[^5]. A review that finds oversized images and uncached fragments is finding revenue.

Because this skill is read-only by design, it's the safest place to start using AI on a StoreConnect store. It changes nothing, which also makes it easy for a cautious team to approve.

## Find out what your storefront is costing you

You can't fix what nobody has measured.

[Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers). The theme review skill installs with the full StoreConnect catalog, and the Claude, Cursor and Grok Build packages include a ready-made `sc-theme-review` command that runs the audit and reports ranked findings.

[Watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo). CEO Mikel Lindsaar shows AI agents working on a real store, so you can see what a review looks like before you run one on yours.
