Please note that misspellings are case-sensitive.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n You can go to the page report by clicking on any of the links within the “Fix These Issues to Improve Your Score” and “Fixed Issues” modules from the page inspector.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n NAU sites that change their URL will ideally have all of their links redirected so that nothing is broken as a result.

If you have any comments about or suggestions for policies on Siteimprove, don’t hesitate to contact the WCM Support Team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n If your site goes down while Siteimprove is scanning it, then any of the charts you look at will show as a drop to zero. We do not anticipate this to be an issue, but occasionally errors occur and the site will go down for a slight period of time as a result.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n The shortest path from the homepage, within the page inspector tool, relies on the path from the main homepage (either in.nau.edu<\/a> or nau.edu<\/a>), not from your site’s set front page.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Rechecking a single page takes one to a few minutes. Please note that this time may vary if Siteimprove is currently crawling your site.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Since broken links and misspellings are some of the most common issues on the NAU site and some of the most frustrating things for users to experience, we recommend prioritizing these issues within the Quality Assurance module.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Siteimprove is a tool that the University is providing in order to assist WordPress users with maintaining and enhancing their sites.
