Log in to Siteimprove
Siteimprove checks our sites every 4 days and can identify where you may have issues such as:
- broken links or links to unsafe domains
- misspelled words
- violations of our style guide or words we want to avoid
- improper use of headings
- missing alt text on images
- content that is not accessible to people with disabilities
In addition, you can use the analytics to track how much traffic your pages get, use policies to find content that matches certain criteria (useful if, for example, your department changes its name), and more.
Siteimprove provides customizable dashboards and reports that you can schedule so you can find the information you're most interested in the way that suits you best.
Siteimprove Basics
Siteimprove Training and Help
Although we don't provide Siteimprove training, they provide online help, getting started videos, and other training options, all found through their Resource Center. Find the link in the header at the top of any page on Siteimprove.
You can start with a tutorial or jump right in, using Siteimprove's help center to learn more as you explore.
If you have specific questions, aren’t getting the reports you’d like to get, or want someone added to Siteimprove, ask for help on the Drupal Training and Support Team. We're also willing to help answer any questions we can and can point you in the right direction if we can't.
Broken Links and Misspellings
When you log into Siteimprove, you'll start at a dashboard that provides basic scores for your pages. From there, you can navigate to find extra tools, locate exactly where a broken link or misspelling appears, and find links into our site to help you make changes.
To get the most out of Siteimprove:
- Read Siteimprove's Quality Assurance: Broken Links and Misspellings for a quick start on the most common quality assurance issues.
- Look to the side navigation for "back to main navigation" to reorient yourself if you get lost while exploring.
Other useful tools to explore as you get more familiar with Siteimprove include:
- Quality Assurance inventories for links, words, and more. You can even update the site dictionary if there's a name or office that is not being spelled correctly to let others know the correct spelling when they are checking their own pages.
- Policies > My Policies gives you an easy way to see if something appears on our site, including:
- Offices that have changed names
- Position titles that have changed
- Names of people leaving the college
- Links to resources that are not going to be available or that get updated each year,
- etc.
Simplifying Your Use of Siteimprove
We can help you reduce or increase the number of pages you see in your reports by setting or editing a group of pages. We can then set your account to only show those pages. Submit a web request if you'd like our help with that.
You can also go "backwards" from our website to Siteimprove. On most pages of our site, while you're logged in as an editor, you'll see a Siteimprove icon (a small reddish circle with a white four-pointed star). Click on it to see the status of the page. Note: This works best from Chrome or Edge browsers.
