Siteimprove is a web tool that periodically ‘crawls’ and reviews our websites and tracks misspelled or potentially misspelled words and broken links. Quality Assurance reports emailed from Siteimprove show issues found on your site and make it easier to correct issues using Adobe Experience Manager or WordPress.

How do I use the report to make changes on my website?

The report will show Priority Pages, Pages with Broken Links and Pages with Misspellings.

Step 1

To target pages where corrections will have the most positive effect for your users, scroll down to Priority Pages. You can also choose to use Pages with Broken Links and Pages with Misspellings when making corrections.

To view an individual page in your browser, click on the page title.

  • To locate broken links on the page, click on the “Broken Links” button under the “Links” heading. The page will reveal broken links on your page with a RED highlighted box.
  • To locate misspelled words, click on the “Misspellings” button under the “Spelling” heading. The page will reveal misspelled words on your page highlighted in RED.
  • Click on the “Potential Misspellings” button to reveal potentially misspelled words highlighted in YELLOW. If you find words here that need to be added to our dictionary, please contact us at caesweb@uga.edu.
  • Please note that you can NOT make any changes to your web page within the Page Report view. You must proceed to Step 3 and open either Adobe Experience Manager or WordPress to edit.

Step 3

Using the Page Reports as a guide, log in to Adobe Experience Manager or WordPress, open the appropriate page and make the updates for broken links and spelling issues. Publish your updated page in AEM or WordPress.

Repeat Steps 1-3 as needed.

How do I correct PDFs with broken links?

Using the same process outlined above, click on the page title to view the Document Report. Once the page report has opened in your browser, you will see a left column labeled “Issues.” Click on an individual broken link to reveal its location within the PDF document. Using the Document Report as a guide, make corrections to your PDF document and upload the edited version to your AEM assets folder or WordPress media library using the same file name to replace the existing document.

The PDF is located on a different website. What do I do?

Option 1: Contact the PDF owner and ask them to correct the issue(s).
Option 2: Remove the PDF link from your website and find a different source of information.
