The Shopify promise vs. reality

Shopify sold you on simplicity.
"Just export your products and import them!"

What they didn't mention:

Your URLs all changed (/product/name → /products/name)
Collection URLs don't match category structure
Variant URLs created duplicate content
Your blog moved from /blog/post to /blogs/news/post
JavaScript-heavy theme blocking Googlebot
Apps adding 3 seconds to load time

The old site had 10,000 indexed pages. The new one has 50.
Your competitors just inherited your rankings.
