Short description of issue
A few SEO issues with Horizon picked up in an SEO Audit
Reproduction steps
-
In the description block for blog posts, the “Read more…” text cannot be changed to something more descriptive such as “Read article”.
-
The Collections List page has a duplicate meta description to the homepage as there is nowhere to enter a meta description for this page.
-
cdn/shopifycloud/autosizes-uploader/autosizes.1.0.0.js is being detected as not minified even though it appears to be.

On the “Read more…” issue, that string lives in the theme’s locales/en.default.json (search for read_more or description.read_more); editing the JSON locally and re-uploading the theme changes it. The duplicate meta description on the Collections List page is a longer-standing Horizon issue; the workaround is adding a metafield-driven <meta name="description"> in theme.liquid keyed on template == 'list-collections'. The autosizes.js false positive is a known PSI quirk where the file is minified but lacks a .min.js filename, so Lighthouse flags it; safe to ignore. Adjacent to the audit, related-articles widgets are a separate SEO lever (internal links and dwell time on blog content), and that’s the case I’d flag if it ever surfaces in the audit.
