Profile and debug Liquid template on your Shopify store

Shopify themes are fast out of the box, but Liquid changes made afterwards can cause slowdowns. Shopify Theme Inspector for Chrome helps identify Liquid changes that are slowing your site down by providing a visualization of Liquid render profiling data, and giving you the means to triage the slowest parts of your Shopify theme.

Once you install this extension you should be able to sign in with your Shopify credentials and see a “Shopify” panel in Chrome DevTools.

This tool helps you visualize results as a flame graph which is readable and easy to understand. You can examine the flame graph nodes to localize performance issues down to the exact file and line.

A handy code snippet link will open up the exact line of Liquid in your admin code editor so you can view and edit the code in context.

This is the perfect tool to accelerate your workflow while debugging Liquid performance.

I have not encountered any issues with the sign-in process as others have reported. When you attempt to sign in, a pop-up window will appear asking you to log in to your Shopify account. After you have signed in, the app should work as intended. Make sure to wait until the icon turns green before trying to log in. After logging in, use Chrome DevTools by right-clicking on the page, selecting "Inspect," navigating to the "Shopify" tab, and pressing the reload icon.

Same issue as below... can't actually use it because of a "sign in" glitch where the loading wheel just continues to spin indefinitely. Recommend that Shopify either fix this or discontinue the plug-in to avoid wasting future users time.

Everytime I click "Sign in" under "Sign in to your Shopify account", it just spins and then eventually closes the popup, giving the impression you've logged in. But when I click the extension again, it's like nothing happened and asks you to sign in again.
