I am wondering why Shopify’s default policy templates for:
- Refund Policy
- Privacy Policy
- Terms & Conditions
…are not optimized for SEO with the semantic hierarchy of headings.
The Privacy Policy template uses multiple
s, which is bad practice for SEO.
The other policy templates just use bold paragraphs instead of headings.
Even worse, the Terms of Service uses text spelled out in all caps, which is bad practice for accessibility (screen readers will read text typed out in all caps one letter at a time, instead of word-by-word. For this reason, we use the CSS text-transform property to decoratively uppercase headings, instead of typing them out in all caps).
I would appreciate if Shopify made these very minor changes to their templates, so I don’t have to change these manually for all of my clients whenever I build a shop.
