Upgrade your website management experience with our latest CMS plugin version with a brand new UI. Find out more here

The Siteimprove CMS plugin is a small overlay box, that, after installation, will appear in your CMS platform and inform you about the issues related to the site/page that you are working on. This article describes how to navigate the Siteimprove CMS Plugin.

Note: Data shown in the Siteimprove CMS Plugin depends on the Siteimprove services that you are subscribed to or that users have access to.

CMS plugin requirements and data availability

The Standard CMS plugin works as a small version of the Siteimprove Intelligence Platform (SIP).  It will only show information about pages that are available in the platform. If the site is not available in the platform you will not be able to see data in the plugin or configure the plugin correctly. 

User access and permissions

User permissions in the Siteimprove platform are also reflected in the plugin. Users need to sign into the plugin.

Published and draft content checks

The Standard CMS plugin provides data on published pages that have been scanned in the siteimprove platform. For some CMS systems, the CMS plugins offer a Prepublish (Content Check) feature that allows you to check content saved in draft status before it is published within the CMS. This feature requires a subscription and additional setup. Read more in the article: Prepublish content check: How to ensure quality content on your site
