Internal vs. External in Siteimprove Inventory Section
This article applies to: Siteimprove, Web Accessibility
Siteimprove may miss assets that are linked within your site if they don’t meet Siteimprove’s definition of an ‘internal’ asset, which includes pages, documents, PDFs, media files, links, and other digital assets.
Siteimprove will only scan an asset that contains the domain in the URL structure for the site you selected.
Examples
- Internal PDF: If your index URL domain is it.cornell.edu, Siteimprove will scan it.cornell.edu/maps.pdf.
- External PDF: If your index URL domain is it.cornell.edu, Siteimprove will not scan a document that has the domain dfa.cornell.edu/maps.pdf.
