Modified on: Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 3:31 PM

Answer

CMS Deep link helps users navigate directly from an issue in Siteimprove to the corresponding editing page in their CMS so they can correct published content. The Siteimprove CMS Plugin helps users identify and fix issues during the content creation and editing process, allowing them to improve content before or immediately after publishing.

Summary

CMS Deep link is designed to help users quickly locate and fix issues that have already been identified on published pages, while the Siteimprove CMS Plugin integrates into the content creation workflow to help users find and correct issues earlier in the publishing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between CMS Deep link and Siteimprove CMS Plugin?

A: This article is intended to explain the difference between CMS Deep link and Siteimprove's CMS Plugin.

Once Siteimprove has identified an issue for you to correct, such as a broken link or a misspelling, the next step is to actually go and fix it. CMS deep linking assists with this by creating a link from the Siteimprove Intelligence Platform to the corresponding editing page in your CMS. This can be a big time saver if you have a large database of content or if navigating your CMS is slow and cumbersome.

Essentially, CMS Deep link is used, and considered very helpful "after-the-fact", when issues are found long after pages have been published. On the other hand, the Siteimprove CMS Plugin allows you to check for issues in the content creation and editing process! Once a page has been published in your CMS, you can order a re-check of the page that will return immediate results for issues. You can then fix those issues, and re-publish the page. The Siteimprove CMS plugin, therefore, allows you to get things right the first time: presenting an error-free page to your users.
