Siteimprove Tool
All School of Pharmacy web editors can be granted access to a tool called Siteimprove that enables you to easily identify and resolve common problems with your website, such as broken links and misspelled words.
Not affiliated with the School of Pharmacy? See Siteimprove.
In Siteimprove you can see issues for only the content that you own. You can use it as much as you want to improve your website. Ideally you’d check Siteimprove on a regular basis at a schedule that you see fit. Below are some example screenshots. Siteimprove is funded at the UC level and administered at the campus level; you are not responsible for its cost or administration.
