Reviews & Comments of Shopify Theme Inspector for Chrome chrome extension

there is no way to get on remove from chrome now

Does not work.

Literally doesn't add a Shopify panel to Chrome Dev.

Installed it and was never able to get past the login screen, just loads and loads. Guess I should have trusted the 2-star rating.

Not working at all, its stuck in login and its loading hours and tried many logins, not working at all..

Seems to work decently, but quite glitchy on the frontend, not very informative other than to show which sections take a while but no way to tell why

Shopify could have done a better job with instructions. This extension WAS working but then it suddenly stopped, and now it's working again. I had updated my security settings to prevent extensions for working on pages unless I clicked on them. This prevented the profiler from working correctly even after attempting to sign in. IF this sounds like your situation, you could change the extension settings in chrome to only work for your Shopify domains you are profiling or have access to all sites you visit. I'll suggest the former for security reasons of course. Once your settings are updated. Refresh your page and attempt to profile again. Hope this helped.

doesn't work

It doesn't do anything. I was able to log in as the sore owner, but it doesn't do anything. It just takes you back to the Chrome Web Store. I'm uninstalling this. I'm sure that the 30,000 installations were fudged or at some point uninstalled before they could do anything.

Had to re-add this extension just to write this review. This extension simply doesn't work. You click Sign On but it won't Sign On.

Site owner and this extension asks me to login again which fails each time. Why does Shopify offer a broken resource like this? It erodes goodwill with me as a Shopify merchant.

Doesn't even login. STUPID extension. Useless.

Very bad experiance.

For all the devs saying they cant test it - host a copy of the theme in a dev partner account test account so you are the admin. its not ideal but it gets around the admin account issue - or request a password of an admin on the site to login (most clients are ok with that if it improves site speed)

can't log in, looks like it would be cool as soon as it works

Useless. Being the store owner, I cannot even login.

+ zoom show - after click "Load Profile" cpu hit 80-120% - low trust to send credentials

This page cannot be profiled Click here to read more about this. In 90% when I click refresh I get this error, for other 10% it works fine.

Support Partner accounts, there main account type that has a use for this

Without collaborator access, this extension is extremely limited in how helpful it is. So much potential for partners to help merchants speed up their shops (which would go hand in hand with the new performance dashboard). Please make opening this up to collaborator accounts a priority! Thanks!

useless waste of time just like shopify these days

This extension doesn't work unless you have a staff account login for a site. For most of Shopify's Partners, who work with clients using "Collaborator Accounts" this app will not work.

Super helpful for seeing which snippets are causing potential issues.

I am the site owner and already logged in to my shopify account. This extension is asking me to log in again. For all I know, the extension is trying to grab my log in credentials. There is nothing that indicates that I am on Shopify’s website for the login. Be careful. I have removed the extension because of this.

Well, same here. Without collaborator access, it's useless for me.

With collaborator access to 100s of stores and no staff accounts to those stores (as staff accounts are limited in number by the Shopify plan of the store), I can't use this with my clients. It sounds great. But it seems to me target audience would be Shopify partners over store owners?

Needs Partner access!

This is useless, the people that need to use this are developers and agencies, the fact that I cant use it as a collaborator makes the whole app a waste.

Don't bother.

Pretty useless without collaborator access I'm afraid. Seems surprising they would rush this out without thinking that was an important aspect of the app. Who is using this otherwise? Only in-house devs?

Need collaborator account access!

As a Shopify agency owner, I was so excited for this extension to debug performance issues in clients' themes... Unfortunately, it doesn't work with collaborator accounts. In a pinch, we can use it with a Staff account, but without collaborator account support, it'll never be a regular part of our toolset. Fingers crossed that it'll be added in a future update.

Agree with others that it has to support Partner accounts to be useful.

Cool extension, but without support for Collaborator account access it's largely useless from a Plus Agency standpoint.
