How StriveFormats detects this

StriveFormats checks SEO fields for common quality issues: blank values, excessive length, values that match the product title exactly (no differentiation), and placeholder text.

►Technical detail
Shopify's importer validates the Too many tags field against its official import specification. Values that do not meet the expected format are flagged to prevent silent data corruption -- an invalid value that slips through import might appear as a blank field, a zero, or incorrect text in your storefront without any error message after the fact.
