Don’t miss testing half your website

With Authentications, Silktide tests the areas of your website that are behind a login.

Examples include, a customer account area, a virtual learning environment, a company staff intranet, and an online banking portal.

It’s really important to make sure your whole website is working, not just the public facing parts. Without Silktide, you can’t be sure that areas behind an authentication step are free from content errors, accessibility issues, and usability problems.

You’ll have critical user steps, like customer account areas for checking past orders, or entire virtual learning environments for staff and students.

What if there are broken links to core student materials in your VLE, or to critical staff resources in your intranet. Or how about customers just not being able to access their settings?

The first you’ll hear about these problems are when the complaints come in. It’s frustrating for users and costs you time and money in customer and IT support.

If you’re in the public sector, then you’ll be subject to accessibility laws requiring your entire website, including your intranet and customer portals, to be accessible.

It’s worth asking – how would you normally test for these issues?

What if your VLE contains hundreds, or maybe thousands or pages of content for students and teachers?

Or perhaps your company intranet has critical information that all staff members need.

You’d have to log in as a user and search for problems manually on every page.

Other web testing platforms can’t test these authenticated areas, but Silktide is different.

Silktide can access every page behind a login – meaning we can automatically check your entire website frequently, and at scale.

With Silktide’s comprehensive testing modules, you can find errors in your content, like spelling, grammar, and broken links. You can pinpoint accessibility problems and fix them so you don’t fall foul of any local and national legislation.

If you’re only testing the public facing parts of your website, you could be missing 40% of your content. Other platforms will miss these vital parts out.

So remember, Silktide can:

Test areas of your website behind authentication.
Find problems on every single page automatically.
And present solutions on how to fix them.
