Web statistics in Siteimprove

You should regularly review links on your websites in Siteimprove to keep your pages up to date and ensure a good user experience.

Guide to finding dead links:

1. Log in to Siteimprove and find the page and group you want to check out at the top of the page.

2. Click Quality Assurance > Links > Pages with dead links in the left side menu.

3. Click on a specific page to view the dead links on that page. The dead links are listed in the left side menu under ‘Instances on this page’. When clicking on each link, the error is highlighted in red on the page.

4. Open Sitecore in a new window, locate the relevant pages and update or remove dead links.

5. Once you have updated or removed the dead links in Sitecore, return to the ‘Pages with dead links’ page in Siteimprove. Select the corrected links and hit ‘Check now’ to remove them from the list of dead links. If you’ve only fixed one link, simply click the update icon.

Appearance and naming may vary slightly depending on the specific configuration of your Siteimprove account.

Siteimprove flags any spelling mistakes/typos on your pages.

You can also review words to confirm or deny if they are actually correct and add approved words. The latter two functions are used to customise and optimise spell checking.

How to correct spelling mistakes and typos:

1. Log in to Siteimprove and find the page and group you want to check out at the top of the page.
2. Click Quality Assurance > Spelling > Find spelling errors in the left side menu.
3. This lists the spelling mistakes. 
   a. To correct the spelling error, tap the arrow next to ‘Pages’ and then click on a specific page. The spelling error is displayed in the left side menu under ‘Instances on this page’. Click each spelling mistake to highlight the error on the page. Then find the relevant pages in Sitecore and fix the spelling error. 
   b. To approve the spelling, tap the ‘thumbs up’ icon.
4. Once you have updated or removed the dead links on the relevant pages in Sitecore, you can re-scan the page in Siteimprove to check that the spelling errors have been fixed. You can usually restart the scan by tapping ‘Find spelling errors’ again.
