I’m sure most people hear no how on a website you can right click anywhere you want and go to inspect Element which pops up all the websites coding and internal structures. I’m curious I’ve heard of people getting in there and something about they can hijack certain things from you based on the code. Number one is this true and number two is there a way to protect the code so that nobody can either see it or mess with it? Any info would be great. Thank you

It is true that the “Inspect Element” tool can be used to view the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code of a website, but this does not necessarily mean that someone can hijack anything from your website. However, it is possible for someone to copy your website design by viewing and replicating your code.
To prevent this, you can disable the “Inspect Element” tool using various apps, although this may not be necessary as Shopify has robust security measures in place, such as SSL encryption, security audits, and PCI compliance. Nonetheless, it’s still important to take extra steps to ensure the security of your website data. In general, viewing website code through developer tools is a common and legitimate practice used by web developers and designers for debugging, optimization, and enhancement purposes.
I hope it helps.
Hello and thank you for responding. That makes perfect sense. It is good to know that Shopify has good encryption but I will definitely look into an app for that. Thanks again for your reply!!
