Here's how I remove code from old apps on Shopify using Side Kick

Hello everyone,

I’d like to share a tip that’s been really helpful in improving the speed of my Shopify store: removing unused code.

Problem: When you uninstall an app on Shopify, bits of code may remain that slow down the store, but you won’t notice them unless you run an in-depth analysis.

Solution: Use SideKick with the prompt:

Check if there is any code left over from old, uninstalled apps in my theme

Example:

So I’ll be able to remove them with a Shopify developer or an MCP Claude.

If you have any questions about this quick tutorial, feel free to leave a comment.
