How to check a new page in Siteimprove using Single Page Check

Summary

When new pages are being published, you may want to check them immediately for errors. The Single Page Check feature allows you to enter individual URLs to be checked immediately, giving you results for the page in Quality Assurance, Accessibility, and SEO within minutes. The following article explains how to perform a Single Page Check.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

• Access to Siteimprove.
• The URL of the page you wish to check.
• Access to the site where the page has been published.

Expected Outcome

After completing this procedure:

• The page will be checked immediately.
• Results will be available in Quality Assurance, Accessibility, and SEO.
• Clicking on the page title takes you to the Page Report, where potential errors will be identified.

Procedure

1. Select Quality Assurance from the main menu
2. Click Summary from the menu 
3. Click Single Page Check from the sub-menu
   
4. Enter the URL of the page you wish to check
5. Click Check Page to run the check
   

After the page has been checked, you will be able to find details about the page in the Quality Assurance, Accessibility, and SEO services. Clicking on the page title takes you to the Page Report, where potential errors will be identified.

Considerations

• Single Page Checks can also be inserted via the CMS Plugin, Siteimprove Ads, and Integrations.
• Single Page Check analyzes the HTML of the page and checks all available links on it – it does not crawl any further than that.
• Page URLs will remain in the Single Page Check tables for a minimum of 30 days as a security measure.
• Pages may be removed in line with the Clean-up process for Single Page Checks.
• If a Single Page Check fails, it will be seen as greyed out on the list.
• To recheck a page, you can use the recheck button or add the URL into the URL bar at the top of the page again.
• If you encounter issues with pages consistently failing, please review the Site Content Settings article. 

Verification / Next Steps

After running the Single Page Check:

1. Confirm that the page appears in the Single Page Check results.
2. Open the page title to access the Page Report.
3. Review any identified issues in Quality Assurance, Accessibility, and SEO.
4. If needed, recheck the page using the recheck button or by entering the URL again.
