Why are my core pages being switched to Soft 404 by Google?

@Nick_Hartnack @Igorb86 Turns out one of our apps was hacked and serving this code. I forget the exact name, and it looks like it’s no longer available in the Shopify App Store, but the name was something to do with “Custom JS.” I found this by going through each of my apps until I found a hint that this was the app causing it. I noticed this app had mention of asaplabs.io. After deleting this app, all the code was removed. Alternatively, to find the app, you should be able to reach out to Shopify and ask them to search the code of the apps on your store for asaplabs.io. This solution has worked for others, but Shopify never got back to my repeated attempts to ask them to do this. After finding and removing the app, I was able to submit the fixes back to Google Search Console to get us back up on Google.

Here is the forum post I found from @EmmanuelFlossie that led me to finding the resolution, so HUGE thanks to him! https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-apps/warning-gmc-suspensions-due-to-malicious-software-asaplabs/td-p/1624621
