SKU on every variant

4/4 pass

Every variant has a SKU.

3 images.

At least three images. When dimensions are known, each side should be at least 500 pixels.

Distinct alt text

6/6 pass

Every image has alt text.

Every image has its own alt text, and none of them are placeholders like 'image' or 'product photo'.

SEO title

The SEO title is still the product title. A more specific title can be saved without copying it.

SEO description

4/4 pass

SEO description is 80 characters.

Present, and about 50 to 160 characters.
