You can use SeaText AI on a staging or development domain by connecting that domain to its own SeaText account. Install the JavaScript snippet, verify the connection, then activate the AI on the pages you want to test. The important rule: use a valid, real domain, not localhost, because each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL.
If you already use SeaText AI on a live site, keep that account for production. Create a separate account for staging or development, and test there without changing your live site.
SeaText AI works on a staging or development domain the same way it works on a live site: the JavaScript code loads on your pages, the domain is linked to your account, and you activate the AI from the Main AI Hub. The difference is that a test domain needs its own account and its own real domain name.
The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. That means you can install the code on a staging site without changing what visitors see until you turn the AI on.
Follow these steps in order. Use a separate account for each domain, and use a real domain rather than localhost.
If you need SeaText AI on multiple domains, create separate accounts for each domain. Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL. In other words, your production domain gets one account and your staging or development domain gets another.
Log in to your SeaText AI account and copy the JavaScript code provided by SEATEXT AI. You can find it on the General Integration page.
Add the script to every page where you want SeaText AI to work. If you are using WPEngine, download the WP Engine plugin that enables you to add custom JavaScript code to your pages. Install it and apply it across all your pages.
For other platforms, add the snippet through your usual integration method. The goal is the same: the code needs to load on the staging or development domain.
Do not try to use localhost. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may also fail, because SeaText AI might not reliably associate traffic with your account.
Use a stable domain you control, such as staging.example.com or dev.example.com. That gives SeaText AI a consistent URL to connect to your account.
Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.
Then wait at least five minutes. Your website name should appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the SeaText page. That is the signal that the domain is connected and ready for the next step.
After five minutes, check that your website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo. If it does not appear at the top of the page after 10 minutes, contact support. This could indicate an issue during installation on your platform.
Verification is not optional. The connection check tells you whether SeaText AI can reliably associate traffic with your account. Without it, the AI may not know which domain to work on.
Once the site name is visible, proceed to the Main AI Hub to activate the AI on the pages you want. Click Configuration to adjust the AI parameters. SeaText AI also provides an initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. You can review or edit them in Variants Edit in the left panel: select the URL and language, then make manual changes.
Use the table below to keep the two environments separate.
| Area | Staging or development | Production |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Separate SeaText account | Separate SeaText account |
| Domain | Valid, real test domain; localhost restricted | Your live primary domain |
| Purpose | Test agents, variants, and translations | Run the AI for real visitors |
| Verification | Site name appears next to SEATEXT logo | Same check |
Keep the accounts separate. Since each account is linked to a single primary URL, reusing one account for both environments can prevent traffic from being associated with the right domain.
| Fact | What to know |
|---|---|
| Account per domain | Create separate accounts for multiple domains; each account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| localhost | Restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain instead. |
| Dynamic development URLs | May not work because SeaText AI might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account. |
| Installation safety | The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. |
| Activation step | Visit or refresh the page several times and stay for at least 40 seconds. |
| Connection check | Wait at least five minutes for your website name to appear next to the SEATEXT logo. |
| If it fails | Contact support if the name does not appear after 10 minutes. |
These restrictions matter for staging work because a test domain that changes URL frequently will look unreliable to the system. Give your staging environment a stable domain name before installing the code.
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Using localhost as the development URL | Switch to a valid, real domain. |
| Reusing the production account for staging | Create a separate account for each domain. |
| Skipping the 40-second page visit | Visit or refresh the page several times and stay on it. |
| Checking the connection too early | Wait at least five minutes before looking for the site name. |
| Ignoring the 10-minute check | Contact support if the site name does not appear. |
No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain instead.
Yes. Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL, so multiple domains require separate accounts.
The account is tied to one primary URL, so the second domain cannot be linked reliably. Create another account for the additional domain.
Visit or refresh the site several times and stay for at least 40 seconds. Check after five minutes. If the site name does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support.
No. The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until you activate it in the Main AI Hub.
Yes. Log in to your account, go to Variants Edit, select the URL and language, and review or edit translations and variants.

SeaText AI links each account to a single primary URL. To use it on multiple Weebly domains, you must create a separate SeaText AI account for each domain. Then, for each site, copy the JavaScript snippet from that account's dashboard and paste it into the Weebly site's Footer Code section. After publishing, visit the site and stay for at least 40 seconds to activate the AI and link it to your account.
This setup ensures each domain gets its own AI instance. The AI reads your site content and responds to visitors based on that specific site's data. Sharing one account across domains would mix that data and break the AI's ability to provide relevant responses.
Each SeaText AI account is tied to one primary URL. This is a deliberate design choice for security and accurate traffic attribution. If you tried to use one account across multiple domains, SeaText couldn't reliably associate traffic with the right site, and the AI wouldn't function correctly.
The one-account-per-domain rule also affects how you track results. Each account maintains its own analytics, so you can see which domain gets the most AI-driven conversions without data mixing. This separation matters if you run different types of sites—one might be a blog, another an ecommerce store, and a third a service landing page.
From a security standpoint, isolating each domain to its own account limits the blast radius if one account is compromised. The other domains stay protected because they use separate credentials and API keys.
This means the process is not "add a domain to your existing account." Instead, you repeat the full setup for each domain. It's more work upfront, but it keeps each site's data and AI behavior separate.
Log in to the SeaText AI account for your first domain. Find the JavaScript code provided on your account page. Copy it. You'll need a different code for each domain, so repeat this for each account.
The code is unique to each account. If you accidentally paste the wrong code, the AI won't activate. Double-check that the code matches the domain you're setting up.
Log in to your Weebly account. Navigate to Website > Edit Site in the left-hand menu. Select the project you want to set up and click the Edit button to enter edit mode.
Make sure you're editing the correct site if you manage multiple Weebly projects. The site selector is usually at the top left of the Weebly dashboard.
In the Weebly edit mode, click on Settings. Then, access the SEO section. Look for the Footer Code field.
The Footer Code section accepts custom HTML and JavaScript. This is where SeaText AI's script needs to live so it loads on every page of your site.
Paste the JavaScript snippet from your SeaText AI account into the Footer Code section. Make sure you paste the correct code for the domain you're working on.
Don't add any extra text or formatting around the code. Paste it exactly as provided. Extra characters can break the script.
Click Save, then Publish. This makes the code live on your site.
Don't skip the Publish step. Save alone won't push the changes to your live site. Visitors won't see the AI until you publish.
Visit or refresh your website several times. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.
The 40-second rule is important. SeaText AI needs to see a sustained visit to confirm the connection. A quick bounce won't count. Stay on the page, scroll, and interact if you can.
Wait at least five minutes. Then, check the top of your SeaText AI account page. You should see your website name displayed next to the SEATEXT logo. This confirms the site is connected.
If you don't see it after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support. This could indicate an installation issue.
Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each additional Weebly domain. Use a separate SeaText AI account and a separate JavaScript snippet for each one.
Keep a spreadsheet or checklist as you go. Note which account and code go with which domain. This prevents mix-ups when you have three or more sites.
Once your site is connected, proceed to the Main AI Hub to activate the necessary AI on your preferred pages. Click on Configuration to adjust the AI parameters. You can also do optional editing to fine-tune how the AI works on your site.
Remember, each domain has its own account, so you'll need to configure the AI separately for each site.
This separate configuration lets you tailor the AI behavior to each domain's audience. A B2B site might need different AI responses than an ecommerce store. Keep that in mind when setting up each account.
Check the AI's performance after a few days. Look at the analytics in each SeaText AI account. If one domain isn't getting the expected engagement, review the AI settings and adjust them.
You can also set up the AI on specific pages only. Not every page needs the AI. Focus on high-traffic pages like your homepage, product pages, and contact page.
This one-account-per-domain rule applies to all SeaText AI usage, not just Weebly. If you have a single domain with multiple subdomains, you'll need to check with SeaText support about whether subdomains count as separate domains.
Dynamic development domains may not function properly. If you're testing on a staging site with a changing URL, SeaText might not be able to reliably associate traffic with your account. Use a stable, real domain for testing.
If you're managing many domains, the setup process can be time-consuming. Plan to allocate time for each domain's individual setup and verification.
The 40-second activation requirement also means visitors who bounce quickly won't trigger the AI. This is by design—it ensures the AI only activates for genuine visitors who spend time on your site.
SeaText AI may not work with Weebly sites that use custom SSL certificates or unusual DNS configurations. If your site has a non-standard setup, test the AI on a staging environment first.
The AI's effectiveness depends on your site's content. If your pages have very little text, the AI may not have enough material to work with. Make sure your site has substantial content before expecting strong results.
No. Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL. You must create a separate account for each domain.
Create separate accounts for each. Development URLs like localhost are restricted, so use real, valid domains.
You need to visit or refresh your site several times and stay for at least 40 seconds. Then, wait at least five minutes to see your website name appear in your SeaText account.
Contact SeaText support immediately. This could indicate an installation issue on your platform.
Yes. Each domain has its own account, so you'll need to activate and configure the AI separately for each site.
This isn't specified in the official documentation. Check with SeaText support to confirm whether subdomains require separate accounts.
Yes. The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated, ensuring the integrity of your website's content.

SeaText's Translation Agent runs on every page you activate. It tracks 125 markets and records how visitors from each locale interact with your site. The system measures reading behavior, not just page views, so you can see whether a Spanish or Japanese version actually holds attention.
Key signals include Eye-Line Dwell Velocity, which shows how quickly visitors scan headlines versus deeply comprehending value propositions. Friction Points and Re-Reading flags sections where visitors repeatedly backtrack or pause, indicating confusing phrasing or vague claims. Scroll Deceleration shows the exact page coordinates where buying interest spikes before CTA exposure.
Unlike generic analytics that record a bounce after 3 seconds the same as a 90-second deep read, SeaText's AI CRO Reading Analysis distinguishes surface scanning from genuine comprehension. This matters for translation because a high bounce rate in one locale may mean bad translation, not low demand.
Standard web analytics tools suffer from a structural mathematical problem. Classic null-hypothesis significance testing requires tens of thousands of visitors to reach 95% statistical confidence. For most B2B websites and niche ecommerce stores, running a single A/B test takes 4 to 8 months. By the time a test achieves significance, seasonality has shifted and the winner is obsolete.
Modern growth teams shift away from slow binary testing toward z8y AI Reading Telemetry and Continuous Multi-Armed Bandit Optimization. Instead of treating visitor interactions as a black box, AI analyzes millisecond-level reading behavior to identify copy friction. It tests winning variants on live traffic without waiting for large sample sizes.
The fatal flaw of binary conversion tracking is that it discards 99% of behavioral data. A visitor who bounces after 3 seconds is recorded identically to one who reads every word for 90 seconds. Standard platforms ignore this nuance. SeaText’s engine captures the difference. It measures how long eyes dwell on specific text blocks. It detects micro-pauses that indicate confusion. It maps scroll speed against content density.
This engine allows autonomous CRO agents to generate and scale high-converting copy variants automatically. You do not need to wait weeks for results. The system identifies friction points in real-time. It suggests edits that improve comprehension. It validates changes through continuous monitoring rather than static snapshots.
Add SeaText to your website. The Translation Agent translates your entire site into 125 languages with zero code and full control. Once activated, it runs itself. New content gets translated continuously in the background. Setup takes about one minute according to the product page.
Prerequisite: your site must be accessible to SeaText's edge. The agent detects each visitor's language and translates the page instantly in under 3ms. This speed ensures no flicker or layout shift occurs during translation delivery.
Before optimizing, check current performance per language. SeaText tracks international traffic and localized sales separately. Record conversion rates, bounce rates, and reading-depth metrics for each locale over a minimum 30-day period.
Without a baseline, you cannot tell whether changes help or hurt. Write down the current numbers for each language version before you touch anything. This creates a control group for future experiments.
Compare the data across languages. A locale with high traffic but low conversion may need copy refinement. A locale with low traffic but high conversion may deserve more ad spend. SeaText's reading telemetry reveals whether poor performance stems from confusing translation or genuine low demand.
Look for patterns. If multiple locales show Friction Points in the same section type (pricing, features, CTA), that section likely needs universal redesign, not just translation fixes. Global issues require global solutions.
Where Friction Points and Re-Reading appear, revise the copy. Eye-Line Dwell Velocity tells you whether visitors skip headlines or struggle with body text. Make targeted edits, then let the AI CRO Reading Analysis generate winning variants on scale.
Test one variable at a time. If you change the headline and the CTA in the same week, you cannot tell which change drove the result. Isolate variables to ensure accurate attribution of performance shifts.
Shift ad spend and content investment toward the locales that convert. Stop or reduce spending on markets where reading telemetry shows persistent friction and low engagement despite optimization attempts.
This is where ROI improves fastest. Most teams keep spending equally on all languages. Data-driven reallocation often recovers 20% or more of wasted budget. Focus resources where they yield the highest return.
After changes, compare the same metrics over a 30-day window. Look for improved conversion rate, reduced bounce rate, and higher Scroll Deceleration scores near CTAs. If no movement appears, revisit the translation quality or market fit.
Verification is not optional. Without it, you cannot confirm whether the changes worked or whether external factors shifted. Consistent measurement builds reliable long-term strategies.
Understanding the technical definitions of these metrics is crucial for making informed budget allocation decisions. Here is how a marketing manager should interpret specific data points to drive financial outcomes.
This metric measures how quickly visitors scan headlines versus deeply comprehending value propositions. Low dwell velocity on headlines indicates that the translation fails to capture immediate attention or relevance. If visitors skim past the main hook, they never engage with the rest of the page. High dwell velocity on body text suggests clear, readable content that guides users toward conversion. When analyzing budget, allocate more creative resources to locales with low headline dwell velocity. These markets need stronger hooks to justify ad spend.
Friction Points are sections where visitors repeatedly backtrack or pause. This behavior indicates confusing phrasing, vague claims, or cultural mismatches in the translation. A high frequency of friction points in the pricing section suggests that the local currency presentation or value proposition is unclear. In such cases, increasing the budget for human review of pricing pages yields higher returns than broad marketing campaigns. Fix the confusion first, then scale traffic.
Scroll Deceleration shows the exact page coordinates where buying interest spikes before CTA exposure. Rapid scrolling indicates disinterest. Sudden slowing indicates engagement. If deceleration occurs late in the page, the introduction lacks persuasive power. If it occurs early, the value proposition resonates well. Use this data to adjust the placement of key selling points. Move high-engagement elements higher up the page to capture attention faster. This optimization reduces the effort required to convert visitors, improving overall ROI.
Translation ROI depends on more than cost per word. Track these metrics to see the full picture. The core formula is:
ROI = (Net profit from translated content - Translation costs) / Translation costs x 100
To calculate this accurately, you must define both numerator and denominator precisely.
Net profit is the revenue generated by a specific locale minus the direct costs associated with serving that locale. Start with gross sales attributed to the language version. Subtract the cost of goods sold (COGS). Then subtract marketing spend directed specifically at that locale. Finally, subtract any platform fees or transaction costs. The remaining figure is the net profit attributable to that translation effort.
Translation costs include all expenses related to localization. This includes linguist fees, vendor invoices, technology licenses, project management, and review overhead. With SeaText, the base translation cost is zero for the free tier. However, if you use premium features or human review services, include those costs. Conventional SaaS tools like Weglot, ConveyThis, and Lokalise bill by total word count and language tiers. They cost fast-growing sites upwards of $800 to $1,500 every month. Factor these recurring costs into your annual calculation.
Compare your calculated ROI against industry benchmarks. A positive ROI indicates that the translation investment is paying off. A negative ROI signals that the locale is draining resources. Use this comparison to decide whether to expand, maintain, or cut funding for specific languages.
Translation ROI depends on more than cost per word. Track these metrics to see the full picture:

Imagine a Shopify store selling outdoor gear. It launches in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Arabic, and Chinese. After 60 days, SeaText analytics show Spanish and German versions convert at 3.2% while Japanese and Korean hover at 0.8%.
Reading telemetry reveals Japanese visitors scroll past product descriptions and re-read pricing - a Friction Point signal. The Korean version has low Eye-Line Dwell Velocity on headlines, meaning the translation does not match search intent. The team revises those two locales, reallocates 60% of ad budget to Spanish and German, and sees localized sales rise 35% in the next quarter.
This scenario is hypothetical. Actual results depend on your market, product, and existing translation quality. The point is that analytics reveal which locales deserve investment and which need fixing before you spend more.
SeaText analytics work best when you already have meaningful traffic per locale. If a language version gets fewer than 100 visitors per month, reading telemetry data will be too thin to draw reliable conclusions. In that case, prioritize building traffic before optimizing.
The Translation Agent handles 125 languages automatically, but it does not replace human review for technical, legal, or high-stakes marketing copy. Brands with strict compliance requirements should layer in human editors for critical pages.
SeaText tracks behavior on your site, but it does not directly measure revenue attribution across offline channels or multi-touch journeys. If your sales cycle involves phone calls or in-person follow-ups, supplement SeaText data with your CRM.
The analytics depend on JavaScript execution on the page. Visitors with strict ad blockers or privacy settings may not be tracked, which can skew locale comparisons if blocked traffic clusters in certain regions.
SeaText translates your entire site into 125 languages with zero word limits for free on the 100% Free Forever tier. Conventional translation SaaS tools like Weglot, ConveyThis, and Lokalise bill by total word count and language tiers, costing fast-growing sites upwards of $800 to $1,500 every month.
Give each locale at least 30 days of traffic before drawing conclusions. Reading telemetry needs sufficient sessions to identify meaningful patterns in Eye-Line Dwell Velocity and Friction Points. Low-traffic locales may need 60 days or more.
SeaText measures your own site's performance per locale. It does not benchmark your translation quality against competitors. For competitor comparison, use independent localization audits or tools like Translated's TranslationOS analytics framework.
Compare language coverage, whether reading telemetry is included, cost per language, setup effort, and whether the tool tracks behavior or just page views. SeaText covers 125 languages with built-in reading analysis and zero word limits.
For routine product pages and marketing copy, the Translation Agent handles 125 languages automatically. For legal, medical, or brand-critical content, keep human editors in the loop. SeaText is a tool, not a full replacement for specialized review.

No. You should not use the same SeaText API key or account for multiple Odoo domains. SeaText links each account to a single primary URL. The correct setup is one SeaText account per domain, with that account's own code snippet installed on the matching website.
The good news is that adding a second domain is not a complex development project. You create a separate SeaText account for the new domain, copy its code, and paste it into Odoo's Embed Code module. The steps below show the exact process and how to verify it.
If you paste the same integration code into two Odoo sites, SeaText cannot reliably know which site should count as the primary URL. Data from both sites can be mixed, and you may not be able to tell which page changes produced which result.
That is why the SeaText Odoo integration page says each account is linked to a single primary URL. The page also says dynamic development domains may not function properly because SeaText might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account.
In practical terms, sharing a key across domains makes your reporting less trustworthy. You may think a change on one site caused a lift, but the traffic and reading data could actually be coming from the other site.
Visit or refresh the page after saving the Embed Code module. Confirm the page still loads normally and the block is hidden on desktop if you selected that option.
Then confirm that the code pasted on each Odoo domain came from the account whose primary URL matches that domain. That is the main check. If you used a dynamic development domain, switch to a stable, valid real domain because dynamic development domains may not work reliably.
This is the setup SeaText describes. It keeps data separated and makes it easy to see which domain is sending traffic. The trade-off is that you have more accounts to manage.
If a second domain does not need SeaText, do not install the code there. This avoids extra accounts and keeps reporting simple. The other domain simply does not get the same optimization.
The public Odoo integration page does not describe a way to link one account to multiple primary URLs. If you are told otherwise, ask how traffic is assigned before relying on it.
The SeaText Odoo integration uses a JavaScript code snippet from your SeaText account. You paste that snippet into Odoo's Embed Code module. The same rule applies whether you call it an API key, an account, or a code snippet: one account per primary URL.
This is separate from Odoo's own external API, which developers use to connect other software to Odoo data through JSON-RPC or XML-RPC. Those are different credentials for a different purpose.
| Fact | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. | One account should serve one domain. Use a separate account for another domain. |
| If you need SeaText on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts for each domain. | There is no documented path to share one account or key across websites. |
| To use SeaText on several websites, create one account for each website. | This rule is not limited to Odoo. Every website gets its own account. |
| Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. | Use a valid, real domain for testing, not localhost. |
| Dynamic development domains may not function properly. | Use a stable domain for staging or development instead of a randomly generated URL. |
| Mistake | Why it hurts | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Reusing one account's code snippet on two domains | SeaText is tied to one primary URL, so data can be mixed. | Create a separate account for each domain. |
| Testing with localhost | localhost is restricted for security reasons. | Use a valid, real domain. |
| Using a dynamic development domain | SeaText may not reliably associate traffic with your account. | Use a stable development or staging domain. |
| Pasting the wrong account's code when you manage several accounts | The code may be attributed to the wrong primary URL. | Label each snippet by domain before pasting. |
SeaText's public documentation does not describe a way to merge accounts or share one API key across multiple primary URLs. If you believe you have a special case, check with SeaText before assuming a workaround exists.
Subdomains are not covered in the source material. If two Odoo sites share the same root domain but use different subdomains, ask SeaText whether one account is enough.
If you only need SeaText on your production site, leave staging without SeaText or create a separate staging account. The source explicitly lists a development domain and a production domain as an example of when separate accounts are required.
No. SeaText links each account to a single primary URL. Create one account for each website.
Data can be mixed or associated with the wrong URL. Use a separate account for each domain to keep reporting clean.
No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons.
If staging is a separate domain, yes. The SeaText documentation names development and production domains as a case where separate accounts are required.
It may not. SeaText might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account on a dynamic development domain.
The source documentation does not mention account merging. Contact SeaText to check your specific situation.
No. Odoo's external JSON-RPC or XML-RPC API is for connecting software to Odoo data. It is separate from the SeaText integration code you paste into a page.

You can confirm SeaText's tracking code is installed correctly by triggering a session on your own site and then checking the SeaText dashboard for a connection signal. The process takes about 5–10 minutes and requires no technical tools beyond your browser and the SeaText account page.
Before you start, make sure you have:
SeaText's snippet is a small JavaScript file that loads asynchronously. When a visitor (including you) lands on a page with the snippet, the script:
The dashboard polls for that registration. Once the server sees a valid ping from your domain, it updates the UI to show the site name next to the logo. This usually happens within 5 minutes but can take up to 10 if the network is slow or the script loads late.

Snippet placed in <body> instead of <head> or footer | Some platforms only execute header/footer code reliably | Follow platform-specific instructions (e.g., Weebly uses Footer Code in Settings → SEO) |
| Using a development URL (localhost, ngrok, preview domains) | SeaText restricts dynamic or local domains for security | Use a real, public domain; create separate accounts for each domain |
| Caching layer serves old HTML without the snippet | CDN or server cache hasn't purged | Clear cache, redeploy, or wait for TTL expiry |

You cannot verify a localhost site directly in Google Search Console. Search Console is built to fetch your site from a public URL, and localhost exists only on your computer. The workaround is to create a temporary public URL with a tunnel like ngrok, add that URL as a URL prefix property, and prove you control it by uploading an HTML file.
This guide walks through that process, shows you where things break, and explains why a staging server is the better long-term answer.
Google Search Console verifies that you own a site by making Google fetch a known file or a DNS record. It can't fetch localhost because that hostname points to each computer's own loopback address. On your machine it's your site; on Google's server it's Google's own machine. That's why you always get a "couldn't verify" error when you try a local URL.
This isn't a temporary glitch. It's a core rule: Search Console only works with publicly reachable URLs.
Free ngrok URLs are random and change every time you restart the tunnel. For a quick verification test, that's fine. For anything you need to keep alive, you'll need a paid plan with a reserved domain or a different setup.
Why URL prefix and not Domain? A domain property needs a DNS TXT record. You don't control DNS for an ngrok URL or for localhost, so that method can't work here.
If verification fails, the most common cause is that the tunnel died, the file is in the wrong folder, or the tunnel provider blocked Google's fetch with a warning page. Check the file URL in an incognito window first.
If your site is a single-page app that requires JavaScript to render, use the meta tag method instead. Add the meta tag to the head of your main HTML file, serve it through the tunnel, and let Search Console fetch the live page. The HTML file method is simpler for most static or server-rendered sites.
After Search Console shows you as the owner, you can open the URL Inspection tool and paste a test page route from your local site. The tool will fetch that URL and show whether Google can render it. Keep in mind this is only for the temporary tunnel URL. It won't give you data for your real domain, and it won't make localhost pages rank in Google.
You can test the exact route that corresponds to your local file. For example, if you have a page at /products on localhost, you can test https://your-tunnel-url/products.
Many people try to verify localhost by selecting the "Domain" property type. That requires adding a TXT record to your domain's DNS. localhost doesn't have DNS, and you don't own the DNS for a free ngrok URL. You will get stuck at the "Check DNS" step forever. Always use the URL prefix property when working with a tunnel.
If you're doing this for a project that will eventually go live, don't rely on an ngrok URL for Search Console. Deploy the current build to a staging platform that gives you a public URL, such as Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages. Add that URL as a URL prefix property and verify it with the HTML file. Then, when you move the same code to your real domain, add that separate property as well. This keeps Search Console data tied to the correct public URLs from day one, and it avoids the temporary tunnel problem.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| SEATEXT localhost rule | Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. Ensure you use a valid, real domain. |
| Multiple domains | If you need to use SEATEXT AI on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts for each domain. |
| Account URL binding | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| Activation | The AI remains inert until activated. |
| Activation wait | Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds, then wait around five minutes to confirm your site name in the account dashboard. |
If your local site loads Google Analytics globally, Search Console offers that method. However, the analytics code must be present on the exact URL you're verifying. For localhost testing, the HTML file is more reliable because you know exactly where it lives.
Free ngrok URLs stay valid as long as the ngrok process is running. Restarting the process gives you a new URL, so the Search Console property will point to a dead address. Paid plans let you reserve a stable domain.
No. Verification proves you control the public tunnel URL, but Google indexes pages on stable public URLs. The local files themselves are never crawled from your computer.
Only if you own the domain and can create DNS records. localhost has no DNS, and free tunnel domains like ngrok-free.app are owned by the tunnel provider. So a domain property is not an option in this case.
The SEATEXT integration guide says development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Each account is linked to a single primary URL, so you need a valid, real domain and a separate account for each domain.

See how this page can help with your next step.
To verify SeaText in a single-page application, call SeaText.reinit() or SeaText.update() when the route changes. Also confirm that the SeaText script tag appears only in the initial HTML. It should not be injected again on navigation.
This is the core of a correct SPA setup. If the script tag is present once, and the route hook calls the method after each route change, SeaText can keep working as users move through your app.
Multi-page sites load a new HTML document on every click. The browser finds the SeaText script again and runs it from scratch. SPAs load once and swap content in the browser. They never ask for a second copy of that HTML document.
SeaText uses an async attribute on its script tag. That means the script loads without blocking page render. SeaText also stores an ID in localStorage. That ID helps SeaText recognize the same visitor across routes.
Because the script is already running, you must tell SeaText when the visible content changed. A client-side route change does not reset the JavaScript environment. The router removes the old view and renders a new one. SeaText needs a signal to inspect that new view. That signal is SeaText.reinit() or SeaText.update().
If you add the script tag to every route instead, you may create multiple copies. The old copy can keep running. The new copy can start a new session. That can reset variants, translations, or personalization. Keep the script tag in the static entry file.
index.html, main.js, main.tsx, or App.vue.body tag of that entry file. Do not put it in a component template that re-renders on route change.npm start, npm run serve, or ng serve.SeaText, seatext, or the script domain. A clean console means the script parsed and executed.These steps verify the initial load. They do not yet prove that SeaText re-initializes after navigation.
A clean initial load is only half the test. You also need to prove that SeaText reacts when the route changes. Use a route listener or a router hook to call SeaText.reinit() after the new route renders.
Here is a generic pattern. The event name will depend on your router. The important part is the call to the SeaText method.
window.addEventListener('navigation', function () {
if (window.SeaText && typeof window.SeaText.reinit === 'function') {
window.SeaText.reinit();
}
});Replace navigation with the event your router exposes. If your integration uses update(), replace the method name.
Use these checks after you add the listener:
SeaText.reinit() or SeaText.update() once.If the script reloads, move the snippet back to the static entry file. If the feature does not apply, check that the route hook runs after the DOM updates.
Every router has a different place to hook route changes. The goal is the same: after the new route renders, call SeaText.reinit() or SeaText.update().
Use useLocation() and useEffect(). Put the observer inside your Router component.
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useEffect } from 'react';
function SeaTextRouteObserver() {
const location = useLocation();
useEffect(() => {
if (window.SeaText && typeof window.SeaText.reinit === 'function') {
window.SeaText.reinit();
}
}, [location]);
return null;
}Expected: when the pathname changes, the effect runs and SeaText re-initializes on the new page.
Use usePathname() in a client component. Render that component in your root layout so it stays mounted.
'use client';
import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation';
import { useEffect } from 'react';
export default function SeaTextRouteObserver() {
const pathname = usePathname();
useEffect(() => {
if (window.SeaText && typeof window.SeaText.reinit === 'function') {
window.SeaText.reinit();
}
}, [pathname]);
return null;
}Expected: every App Router navigation changes pathname and triggers the effect.
Use the useRouter() hook and the routeChangeComplete event. Mount the observer in _app.js or _app.tsx.
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
import { useEffect } from 'react';
export default function SeaTextRouteObserver() {
const router = useRouter();
useEffect(() => {
const handleRouteChange = () => {
if (window.SeaText && typeof window.SeaText.reinit === 'function') {
window.SeaText.reinit();
}
};
router.events.on('routeChangeComplete', handleRouteChange);
return () => router.events.off('routeChangeComplete', handleRouteChange);
}, [router]);
return null;
}Expected: the handler fires after each completed route change and calls SeaText once.
Use the router afterEach hook in your router setup file.
router.afterEach(() => {
if (window.SeaText && typeof window.SeaText.reinit === 'function') {
window.SeaText.reinit();
}
});Expected: after every navigation, the hook runs. The SeaText script tag stays in index.html.
Filter the NavigationEnd event in AppComponent or a root service.
import { Router, NavigationEnd } from '@angular/router';
import { filter } from 'rxjs/operators';
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private router: Router) {
this.router.events
.pipe(filter((event) => event instanceof NavigationEnd))
.subscribe(() => {
(window as any).SeaText?.reinit?.();
});
}
}Expected: SeaText re-initializes after each completed Angular navigation.
If your installed version exposes update() instead of reinit(), replace the method name in these examples. Check with the vendor if you are unsure.
localStorage is accessible. Some privacy modes or sandboxed iframes block it. Also confirm that your route hook calls SeaText.reinit() or SeaText.update().index.html.This guide covers client-side script loading and route re-initialization. It does not validate SeaText's AI rewriting, translation, or A/B testing logic. Those need separate functional tests.
The steps assume a standard SPA with one static entry file. If your SPA uses a micro-frontend architecture where each fragment injects its own scripts, the single-snippet rule may not hold. Consult SeaText support for that topology.
If your app uses server-side rendering, check that the snippet is not duplicated in server output. The route hooks still belong in the client.
Headless testing tools need to wait for script execution. A simple page load may not be enough. Wait for the SeaText method to be available before you assert results.
Yes, for client-side route changes. The route swap changes the visible DOM, so SeaText needs to re-scan the page. Do not reload the SeaText script during navigation. Keep the script tag in the initial HTML and call SeaText.reinit() or SeaText.update() from the router hook.
Use the method your integration provides. As a general pattern, reinit() fits a full route change, while update() fits a smaller content change on the same page. If your build exposes only one method, use that one. Check with the vendor if you are unsure.
Not recommended. The snippet is designed for static placement in the initial HTML. Dynamic injection can cause race conditions, double-loading, or Content Security Policy failures.
Add the SeaText script domain to the script-src directive. Because the script communicates with SeaText endpoints, also allow connect-src. Then repeat the Network and Console checks.
Run npm run build and serve the output. Open DevTools, check the Network and Console tabs, navigate between routes, and confirm that the SeaText script does not reload.

To verify Seatext AI has activated on your Elementor site, you must check three specific areas. First, log in to your Seatext cloud dashboard. Look for your domain name in the top left corner. If it appears there, the connection is live. Second, review your WordPress plugin settings. Ensure the JavaScript code is present in the 'Scripts in Header' section and saved. Third, look for the Seatext badge in the Elementor editor. Open any page with Elementor and check the side panel. If the script is correctly installed, your site will appear as connected within minutes.
Seatext AI functions as an intelligent layer that sits above your WordPress content. The script injects a small JavaScript file into the header of your site. This file loads asynchronously to prevent slowing down your page. Once loaded, it scans the Document Object Model, or DOM. It identifies key elements like headlines, paragraphs, and buttons. It does not replace your core theme files. Instead, it overlays dynamic content on top of your existing HTML. This allows for real-time changes without breaking your layout. The script respects your Elementor structure. It targets specific widgets based on their CSS classes. This ensures that your design remains intact while the text adapts to visitor intent. If the script cannot find certain elements, it skips them. This prevents errors from appearing on your front end. You can verify this interaction by inspecting the page source. You will see the Seatext script tag near the top of the body. It will also load a configuration object specific to your account.
Seatext uses AI Reading Telemetry to analyze visitor behavior in real-time. Traditional analytics tools only track clicks or page views. They treat a visitor who stays for 30 seconds the same as one who leaves after 3 seconds. Seatext measures millisecond-level reading behavior. It tracks eye-line dwell velocity. This shows how quickly visitors scan headlines versus how deeply they read value propositions. It also tracks friction points. These are sections where visitors repeatedly backtrack or pause. This indicates confusing phrasing or vague claims. The system also tracks scroll deceleration. It identifies the exact page coordinates where buying interest spikes before a call to action. This data helps the AI rewrite your content to remove friction. Unlike heatmaps that show where people click, telemetry shows how they read. This allows for more precise optimization. The data is processed on the edge. This means it does not add load to your server. It happens invisibly in the background. This provides deep insights without impacting site performance. It helps you understand not just what users do, but why they do it.
Dynamic content rewriting directly impacts your Return on Investment. When users land on your site from an ad, they expect relevance. If your headline does not match their search query, they bounce. Seatext rewrites your landing page to mirror the exact keyword they searched. This increases relevance. Higher relevance leads to higher conversion rates. Studies show matching headlines can lift conversion by 25% to 40%. This happens without increasing your ad budget. It also improves your Google Ads Quality Score. Quality Score is a metric used by Google to rank your ads. It is based on expected click-through rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience. By matching your landing page content to the ad keywords, you signal high relevance to Google. This can lower your cost per click. You pay less to acquire the same number of leads. For example, if you bid on 'blue boots', your headline changes to focus on blue boots. The ad text matches the page text. This creates a seamless experience. Users stay longer and are more likely to buy. This compound effect scales with your ad spend. More qualified leads mean a higher return on your investment.
If Seatext does not activate on Elementor, check your caching settings first. Elementor has built-in optimization features. Go to Elementor Settings and click the Advanced tab. Look for CSS and JS files. Ensure that 'Combine Google Fonts Files' is enabled. This reduces external requests. Also, check 'Minify CSS Files' and 'Minify JavaScript Files'. If these are active, they might delay the script load. You need to exclude the Seatext script from minification. In your caching plugin, such as WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache, add the Seatext domain to the exclusions list. This ensures the script loads every time. Also, clear all caches after installing the code. Sometimes the script is blocked by aggressive firewalls. Check your security plugin logs. Look for any outbound requests to the Seatext domain that were denied. If you use a content delivery network, ensure it is not stripping scripts. If you use a staging site, remember that Seatext requires a live domain. It will not activate on localhost. This is a security restriction to protect your account data.
Seatext AI is designed to be SEO-friendly. It uses server-side rendering for the dynamic changes. This means search engines see the full content when they crawl your page. It does not rely on client-side JavaScript that crawlers might miss. You should not see a drop in rankings. In fact, relevance might improve because the content matches user intent better.
Your visitor data is processed securely. Seatext does not store personally identifiable information like names or emails. It aggregates behavior data to improve content. The data is used only for the purpose of optimization. It complies with standard data privacy regulations.
No. Seatext requires a valid, live domain to activate. Staging environments often use localhost or private URLs. These are restricted for security reasons. You must create a separate account for your production site.
Each Seatext account is linked to a single primary URL. If you have multiple websites, you need to create a separate account for each one. This keeps your data and configuration organized.
No. The script loads on the front end of your site. It does not interfere with the Elementor admin panel or editing experience. You will not notice any lag while building pages.
| Feature | Seatext AI | Manual SEO Plugins | Static Page Builders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup Effort | Low (One-time code install) | Medium (Keyword config) | High (Manual page creation) |
| Activation Speed | 5-10 minutes | Instant (after save) | Instant (after publish) |
| Content Adaptation | Dynamic AI-rewrites | Static content changes | Static content changes |
| Domain Limit | One URL per account | Site-wide | Site-wide |
| Scalability | Unlimited variations | Limited by manual effort | Limited by manual effort |
| Real-Time Data | Yes (Telemetry) | No (Manual reports) | No (Manual analysis) |
Seatext AI is best for teams needing dynamic adaptation without dev work. Manual plugins suit those who want full control over every keyword. Static builders work for simple, unchanging sites.

Once you have pasted the SeaText AI code into your site's header (via a plugin like Insert Headers and Footers or directly in your theme), the AI remains inert until you trigger activation. The verification process is straightforward: visit your live site, stay on a page for 40+ seconds, repeat a few times, then check your SeaText dashboard.
Verification confirms that the SeaText JavaScript snippet loads correctly and communicates with the edge network. Without this handshake, none of the 25 autonomous AI agents — Conversion Agent, Translation Agent, Google Ads Agent, Bot Refund Agent, and others — can initialize. A misconfigured or inactive snippet means real-time copy rewriting, keyword-matched landing pages, 125-language translation, and bot-click refund evidence collection never start. For marketing teams spending $10k–$50k+ monthly on Google Ads, an inactive agent wastes budget on generic landing pages that mismatch search intent, lowering Quality Score and ROAS. Accurate data synchronization between the snippet, edge processors, and the dashboard ensures that visitor reading telemetry, intent signals, and purchase events flow into Meta CAPI and Google Ads conversion APIs without loss from ad blockers or iOS ITP. Verification is the gate that protects your ad spend and enables the ROI gains documented in case studies: +25% conversion rate, +35% more conversions from Google Ads keyword matching, +60% international customer growth, and up to 20% ad spend recovered from bot clicks.
The SeaText snippet is a lightweight JavaScript payload injected into the <head> of every page. On load, it establishes a WebSocket connection to SeaText's globally distributed edge nodes. The snippet captures dwell time, scroll depth, referral source, and UTM parameters locally, then batches telemetry every few seconds to the edge. Edge workers process the data: they match the visitor's keyword (from Google Ads click IDs), detect bot signatures (headless browser fingerprints, VPN exit nodes, non-human scroll patterns), and select the appropriate AI agent response — rewritten headline, translated DOM nodes, or CAPI purchase payload. The dashboard synchronization latency is typically 2–5 minutes for the initial domain handshake (the 40-second dwell requirement filters bots), then sub-second for subsequent agent actions. The snippet remains inert until the first verified visit; this design prevents premature DOM manipulation on staging or localhost environments, which are explicitly blocked by domain policy.
SeaText's AI-driven optimization differs from manual A/B testing tools (e.g., VWO, Optimizely) and static translation services (e.g., Weglot, WPML) in three ways. First, autonomy: SeaText agents generate, test, and scale copy variants continuously without human hypothesis creation or statistical significance waiting periods. Manual A/B testing requires traffic splitting, test design, and weeks of runtime per variant. Second, edge execution: SeaText rewrites at the edge in 0ms, avoiding client-side flicker and CSP issues that plague client-side testing tools. Static translation services often serve separate language subdirectories or subdomains, adding SEO complexity and maintenance overhead. Third, signal integration: SeaText pushes verified buyer intent signals directly to Google Smart Bidding and Meta Advantage+ via CAPI, bypassing browser blocking. Manual tools and translation plugins lack this ad-algorithm feedback loop. Trade-off: SeaText requires ceding copy control to AI within guardrails; brands with strict legal/compliance review cycles may prefer manual approval workflows. Pricing is usage-based per agent; static translation often charges per word or language. Check with the vendor for current rate cards.
A Shopify store spending $30k/month on Google Ads installs SeaText. The Google Ads Agent rewrites product page headlines, benefit bullets, and CTAs to match each of the 100+ keywords driving paid clicks. The Conversion Agent runs autonomous headline and CTA tests using reading telemetry (dwell, scroll slowdown near price). The Bot Refund Agent flags 18% of paid clicks as invalid and prepares evidence reports for Google/Meta refund claims. Result: +31% more leads, $3,875 monthly value unlocked, 87% refund claim acceptance rate.
A B2B SaaS company uses the Intent Amplifier to score visitor reading behavior on pricing and feature pages. High-intent signals push to Meta CAPI and Google Ads offline conversions, training lookalike models for high-ticket, low-volume demo requests. The AI SEO Agent publishes thousands of indexed Q&A pages capturing long-tail buyer questions. The ChatGPT Influence Agent builds an invisible knowledge base so LLMs recommend the brand. Result: +40% expected impact on qualified traffic, more AI-referred buyers.
An enterprise brand activates the Translation Agent across 125 languages with zero code changes. The Local AI SEO Agent creates neighborhood-level "near me" pages for each market. The Authority Link Builder earns topical editorial links across client articles. The Visitor Source Rewrites agent matches landing page offers to referral campaigns (email, partner blogs, organic search). Result: +60% international customers, +42% localized sales, 1M+ pages localized, SEO-ready pages per market.
After successful activation, the SeaText dashboard displays your website name beside the logo in the top-left corner. This confirms the script is loading, the domain is recognized, and the AI agents are ready to run. You'll also see agent cards (Conversion Agent, Translation Agent, Google Ads Agent, etc.) become available for configuration.
<head> section, not the footer or body.Once your site name appears, the AI agents initialize. You can then enable specific agents (Translation, Google Ads Landing Page, Bot Refund, etc.) from the dashboard. Each agent begins analyzing visitor behavior, rewriting copy in real time, translating content into up to 125 languages, or detecting invalid ad clicks — depending on which you activate. No further code changes are needed.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Activation trigger | Visit site, stay 40+ seconds per page, repeat 2–3 times |
| Dashboard confirmation | Site name appears top-left next to SeaText logo within 5–10 minutes |
| Domain policy | One account per primary domain; localhost and dynamic dev URLs restricted |
| Installation method | Paste JS snippet into header via Insert Headers and Footers plugin or theme header.php |
| Support escalation | Contact support if site name not visible after 10 minutes |
No. You need an account to get the snippet and to see the dashboard confirmation.
Only after you enable specific agents in the dashboard. Verification just confirms the connection; agents are opt-in.
Create two separate SeaText accounts — one for each domain. The system ties one account to one primary URL.
The 40-second threshold filters out bots and accidental clicks. It's not configurable.
Yes. Test in incognito mode with extensions disabled to rule this out.
The dashboard shows active agent cards with status indicators. Each agent has its own toggle and settings panel.
The edge network handles telemetry batching automatically; there is no public REST API for the snippet itself. Agent actions (rewrites, translations, CAPI forwards) execute at the edge with no client-side rate limiting. Dashboard API calls for configuration follow standard SaaS throttling (check with the vendor for current limits).
SeaText processes pseudonymous behavioral data (dwell, scroll, referral) and does not collect PII unless you explicitly pass it via data attributes. The CAPI integration forwards hashed purchase data to Meta/Google per their specs. You remain the data controller; SeaText acts as processor. A Data Processing Addendum is available on request. For CCPA, the "Do Not Sell" signal is respected via standard opt-out mechanisms.
The snippet is ~12KB gzipped, loads asynchronously, and executes at the edge with 0ms DOM rewrite latency. It does not block rendering, shift layout (CLS), or delay LCP. Googlebot sees the original HTML; AI rewrites apply only to human visitors via edge detection. This preserves crawlability and indexation while delivering personalized experiences.
Yes, but avoid duplicate DOM manipulation on the same elements. SeaText's edge rewrites target specific selectors; client-side tools (VWO, Optimizely, Weglot) may conflict if they target identical nodes. Coordinate selector scopes or run SeaText in "analysis only" mode (disable agents) while testing compatibility.
The Bot Protection Agent analyzes each paid visit for headless browser fingerprints (missing canvas, webdriver flags), VPN/proxy exit node IPs, non-human scroll/mouse patterns, and sub-second page loads. Suspicious sessions are logged with timestamp, IP, user agent, click ID (gclid/fbclic), and behavioral evidence. The dashboard generates a refund-ready CSV/PDF report formatted for Google Ads and Meta invalid click submission portals.
You must create a new SeaText account for the new domain. The domain-account binding is immutable for security and attribution integrity. Migrate by installing the new snippet on the new domain, verifying, then reconfiguring agents. Historical data does not transfer between accounts.

If you just pasted the SeaText snippet into your index.html (or the framework entry point for React, Vue, Angular, etc.), do these three things before you assume everything is fine:
async attribute on the script tag.seatext_). If it exists, the snippet has permission to store its visitor token.If all three are green, the snippet is running. The next layer of proof is in the SeaText dashboard: open the Main AI Hub and you should see live counters for the agents you turned on (CRO Optimizer, Google Ads Agent, Bot Refund Agent, Translation Agent, etc.).
For single-page applications the documentation says to place the snippet in the body of index.html or the equivalent initialization file. In a React app that is usually public/index.html; in Vue it is index.html at the project root; in Angular it is src/index.html. If you use a tag manager, make sure the tag fires on All Pages and not only on a subset of routes.
Run your normal dev command (npm start, npm run serve, ng serve, etc.). The snippet loads asynchronously, so it will not block rendering, but you still need a full page load to trigger it.
SeaText AI initialized, project: <ID>. Errors here usually mean the snippet cannot reach the API or local storage is blocked.seatext_. Its value is the anonymous visitor ID SeaText uses to stitch sessions together.Log in at seatext.com and open the Main AI Hub. Each activated agent shows a small status badge (Active / Learning / Paused). The CRO Optimizer, for example, displays the current variant count and the last time a winner was promoted. If the badge stays Learning after several hundred visits, the agent is still gathering data — that is normal.
Visit your own site, click a CTA, or complete a micro-conversion (newsletter sign-up, add-to-cart). Return to the dashboard after a minute; the event should appear in the Variants Editor under the relevant page. This confirms the end-to-end loop: snippet → event capture → dashboard ingestion.
?lang=es query parameter. The page should render in the target language without a full reload.The SeaText snippet is a small asynchronous JavaScript file. When it loads it:
MutationObserver so they work even on client-side routed views.Because it uses async, the script never blocks DOMContentLoaded or load events. The documentation explicitly notes this to reassure performance-focused teams.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Snippet attribute | async — non-blocking load |
| Storage mechanism | Local Storage (key prefixed seatext_) |
| Supported SPA frameworks | React, Vue, Angular, and any framework that mounts from an index.html entry point |
| Dashboard entry point | Main AI Hub → agent status badges |
| Minimum traffic for variant decisions | ~several hundred visits per variant (agent shows Learning until then) |
| Agent activation | Toggle in dashboard after snippet install; no code changes required |
| Cross-origin note | If your SPA spans multiple domains, ensure the snippet is allowed on each origin |
If your Content-Security-Policy header does not include the SeaText CDN domain in script-src, the script will be blocked and you will see a CSP violation in the Console. Add the domain (shown in your project settings) to the policy.
Some privacy extensions or browser settings block local storage. The Console will log a warning like SeaText: localStorage unavailable. The snippet falls back to a session cookie, but cross-tab stitching is lost.
Pasting the snippet in both index.html and a tag manager fires two beacons. The dashboard will show duplicate sessions. Remove one copy.
Each SeaText project has a unique ID embedded in the snippet. If you copy a snippet from Project A into Project B's site, data goes to the wrong dashboard. Always copy from the project you are viewing.
seatext_ key exists).Usually within a minute of the first tracked pageview. If the dashboard stays empty after 5 minutes, re-check the Network tab for a 200 response.
Yes. Add the staging host to the Allowed Domains list in project settings, then use the same snippet. The dashboard will show a separate host filter.
SeaText's snippet cannot accept a dynamic nonce. You must either allow the CDN domain in script-src or self-host the snippet (contact support for the static file).
The MutationObserver targets the light DOM. If your entire app renders inside a closed Shadow Root, SeaText cannot rewrite text nodes. Open a support ticket for the experimental Shadow DOM adapter.
Yes, but both tools may try to mutate the same element. Use the AI Scope setting in the dashboard to restrict SeaText to specific CSS selectors.
It only analyzes paid traffic (UTM parameters gclid, fbclid, etc.). Organic or direct visits are ignored.
Not currently. The recommended synthetic check is a headless browser script that loads a page, waits for the seatext_ local-storage key, and asserts its presence.
Once the snippet is confirmed working, pick one agent to start with. Most teams enable the CRO Optimizer first because it runs on every page and needs no campaign setup. Let it gather a few thousand visits, then review the Variants Editor for promoted winners. After that, layer on the Google Ads Agent if you run search campaigns, or the Translation Agent if you are entering new markets. Each agent is a toggle — no additional code required.

To verify that SeaText AI is successfully activated, load your site, then confirm two things: your website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo in your SeaText dashboard, and you can see SeaText requests in your browser's Network tab. The core activation signal is simple: visit or refresh your website several times, stay on the page for at least 40 seconds, and wait about five minutes for the dashboard to update. If the site name shows up, the AI is linked to your account and ready to configure.
SeaText's integration guide describes activation as a two-part event. First, the JavaScript script is installed on your website. Second, that script becomes linked to your SeaText account after real visitor activity.
The guide is explicit about the trigger: "Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds". That is what activates the AI and connects it to your account. After that, the dashboard needs time to register the connection. You should see your website name displayed next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the SeaText page.
Seeing that name is your primary confirmation. It means the script is not just installed; it is talking to your account.
Before you can verify anything, make sure these pieces are in place.
Follow these ordered steps to confirm activation from the moment the script is on your site.
The dashboard name check is the official signal, but you can also verify in real time with your browser's developer tools.
Open the Network tab in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, refresh your page, and look for requests that contain "seatext" in the name or URL. If you see those requests firing while the page loads, the script is running.
This is a useful supplementary check because it works even before the five-minute dashboard update. It confirms the code is actually being fetched from SeaText and executed on your page. It does not, by itself, confirm that the account link has finished. Use it together with the dashboard signal.
If you have waited 10 minutes and the site name is still missing, work through these checks.
| Key fact | What it means for verification |
|---|---|
| You need a SeaText account before installing | The script is tied to that account, so activation can link to it. |
| The AI remains inert until activated | Installing the script alone won't change your content. Real page views activate it. |
| Activation requires several visits or refreshes plus 40 seconds on the page | This is the signal that links the page to your account. |
| Wait at least five minutes | The dashboard needs time to display your website name next to the SEATEXT logo. |
| Contact support if nothing shows after 10 minutes | This indicates a possible installation issue. |
| Each account is linked to one primary URL | Use separate SeaText accounts for each domain. |
The verification process works for a normal production website. It does not apply cleanly to every setup.
These terms appear in the SeaText integration guide and are useful to understand before you finish setup.
After you visit or refresh your site several times and stay for at least 40 seconds, wait at least five minutes. If the website name still is not in the dashboard after 10 minutes, contact support.
Yes. The integration guide says to visit or refresh your website several times. One single page load may not be enough to link the account.
No. The guide states the AI remains inert until activated. Installation only places the code; activation happens when real visits satisfy the 40-second dwell requirement.
No. Each account is linked to a single primary URL. To use SeaText on several websites, create one account for each website.
The integration guide says development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain instead.
Wait the full 10 minutes, refresh the dashboard, and confirm the script is on all pages. If it still does not appear, contact SeaText support immediately.
Once your website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo, activation is confirmed. The next step is to go to the Main AI Hub and activate the AI you need on your preferred pages. Use the "Configuration" option to adjust the AI parameters. You can also open Variants Edit to review the initial round of automatic translations and copy variants before they go live.

You can verify SeaText AI is working on your Odoo site in under two minutes. Open the page where you added the Embed Code block, view the page source, and search for the SeaText script tag. Then open your browser's developer console, reload the page, and check the Network tab for requests to SeaText servers. If both checks pass, the AI is active.
This article walks through the exact verification steps, common mistakes that cause false negatives, and how to confirm the AI is actually doing its job rather than just loading.
You need three things in place before verification makes sense:
If you are testing on a staging subdomain, create a separate SeaText account for that domain. Each account is linked to a single primary URL.
Log in to your Odoo account and open the Website module. Navigate to the page where you placed the Embed Code block. Click Edit to open the editing panel.
Scroll to the Dynamic Content section in the Blocks panel. Find the Embed Code module and click its Edit button in the right panel. The pop-up window should show the SeaText JavaScript snippet you pasted earlier. If the field is empty, the snippet was never saved.
One common mistake: pasting the snippet into the wrong block or saving the page without clicking Save inside the Embed Code pop-up first. Odoo requires two saves—one for the block and one for the page.
Open the live page in a browser. Right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source. Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) and search for seatext or the unique script URL from your dashboard.
If the script tag appears in the source, the block is rendering. If it does not appear, the block may be hidden on desktop. SeaText's Odoo instructions tell you to select Hide on Desktop in the Visibility section. That hides the visual block but does not remove the script from the page source. If the script is missing entirely, the block was not saved or was placed on a different page.
Open your browser's developer tools. In Chrome or Edge, press F12 or right-click and choose Inspect. Go to the Network tab and reload the page.
Filter the requests by typing seatext in the filter box. You should see at least one request to a SeaText domain. This confirms the script is executing, not just present in the HTML. If you see the script tag in the source but no network request, a browser extension, content security policy, or script error may be blocking execution.
SeaText states that the AI remains inert until activated. This means a successful installation does not automatically rewrite your page. You must activate the agent from your SeaText dashboard for the AI to start working.
To verify activation, make a small, reversible change in your SeaText dashboard—such as enabling a test agent on a single page—then check whether the page content changes after a reload. If nothing changes, the script may be loading but the account is not linked to this domain.
SeaText restricts development URLs such as localhost for security reasons. If you are testing on localhost or a dynamic development domain, the AI may not associate traffic with your account. Use a valid, real domain for verification.
If you need to test on a staging domain, create a separate SeaText account for that domain. Do not reuse the production account's snippet on a staging URL.
These issues make a working installation look broken:
seatext or the exact script URL, not a generic term like "AI".A loaded script is not the same as a working AI. To confirm the AI is doing its job:
If the script loads but no content changes, the account may be linked to a different domain, or the agent may not be activated for that page.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Installation method | JavaScript snippet pasted into Odoo's Embed Code block under Dynamic Content |
| AI state before activation | Inert until activated from the SeaText dashboard |
| Domain restriction | Each account is linked to a single primary URL; localhost is restricted |
| Multiple domains | Requires separate SeaText accounts for each domain |
| Verification signals | Script tag in page source plus network requests to SeaText servers |
This verification process assumes you installed SeaText using the official Odoo integration method described in the source pack. If you used a different method—such as a custom module, a tag manager, or a Cloudflare edge script—the steps may differ.
The network request check works only if your browser's developer tools are not blocked by your organization's IT policy. Some managed browsers disable the console or network inspection.
If your Odoo site uses aggressive caching or a CDN, you may need to purge the cache before the script appears in the page source. A cached page can show an older version without the snippet.
The script loads immediately after you save the Embed Code block and publish the page. However, the AI remains inert until you activate an agent from your SeaText dashboard. Activation timing depends on the agent and your site traffic.
Yes, but you must create a separate SeaText account for the staging domain. Each account is linked to a single primary URL, and reusing the production snippet on a staging domain will not work reliably.
The most common reasons are: the Embed Code block was not saved, the block was placed on a different page, or a caching layer is serving an old version of the page. Check the block in Odoo's editor first, then purge your cache.
No. The Hide on Desktop option only hides the visual block. The JavaScript snippet still loads in the page source and executes normally.
Check your SeaText dashboard to confirm an agent is activated for the domain. Also verify that the domain in your browser matches the primary URL linked to your SeaText account.
No. SeaText requires a separate account for each website or domain. This includes development and production domains.

To verify that SeaText-generated SEO metadata appears on a Thinkific lesson page, open the published lesson in your browser, inspect the rendered page, and look for a meta description and a JSON-LD structured data block. SeaText writes these tags through the JavaScript code that you placed in Thinkific's Site Footer Code field. If both tags are present, the metadata is live on that lesson page.
This guide gives you a repeatable verification process: what to search for, how to confirm the tags came from SeaText, and what to do when they are missing. Verifying this now prevents you from assuming the metadata is live when the script is not connected.
SeaText-generated SEO metadata on a Thinkific lesson page usually means three tags:
Because SeaText runs from JavaScript in your site footer, these tags are often added to the page after the initial HTML loads. That changes how you check for them.
If you want to see the raw HTML that Thinkific delivered before JavaScript, press Ctrl+U on Windows or Cmd+U on Mac to open View Page Source, then search for seatext. You may not see the meta description there if SeaText injects it with JavaScript. The rendered DOM in DevTools is the more reliable check.
| Step | Where it happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Copy the code | SeaText Thinkific integration page | Copy the JavaScript code provided by SeaText AI. |
| Paste the code | Thinkific Admin Dashboard | Go to Settings, select Code & Analytics, paste into Site Footer Code, and click Save. |
| Link your website | SeaText integration page | Add your website address in the format www.example.com. |
| Activate the link | Your live website | Visit the site once and stay for at least 40 seconds. |
| Confirm connection | SeaText integration page | Wait at least five minutes for your website name to appear next to the SeaText logo. |
| Activate AI | Main AI Hub | Activate the AI on your preferred pages and click Configuration to adjust parameters. |
| Edit variants | SeaText dashboard | Use Variants Edit to review, create, or manually edit translations and content variants. |
SeaText uses JavaScript, so the browser adds the meta tags after the server sends the HTML. The Elements panel in DevTools shows the page after that script runs.
After you install the code, visit your site and stay for at least 40 seconds, then wait at least five minutes for the site name to appear next to the SeaText logo. If it is not there after 10 minutes, contact support.
No. Use the public URL of a published lesson that a logged-out visitor can open.
Search for description to find the meta description, ld+json for structured data, and seatext for the script that generates them.
No. It only confirms the tags are present. Indexing and rankings depend on many other factors.
Go to the SeaText dashboard, open Variants Edit, select the lesson URL and language, and review or edit the variant.

Use this checklist immediately after you paste the SeaText snippet into Thinkific. Each step takes less than a minute.
https://yoursite.thinkific.com) and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This visit triggers the initial handshake.seatext or SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION. You should see the script tag you pasted in the footer.SeaText rewrites headlines, offers, and calls to action in real time based on the visitor's traffic source. If the script is not loading—or if the dashboard still shows "Disconnected"—none of those rewrites happen. You also lose the bot-detection evidence that SeaText compiles for ad-platform refund claims. A quick verification prevents wasted ad spend and missed conversions before you launch a course or campaign.
Thinkific does not have a native SeaText app. Instead, you embed a single JavaScript snippet in the Site Footer Code field under Settings → Code & Analytics. The snippet is lightweight (under 15 KB) and executes synchronously before visual paint, so it does not cause Cumulative Layout Shift or hurt PageSpeed scores. Once the snippet loads, it phones home to SeaText's edge network, registers the domain, and waits for activation signals from the dashboard.
If you have not yet installed the snippet, follow these exact steps from the official integration guide:
www.example.com.| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Integration method | JavaScript snippet in Thinkific Site Footer Code |
| Snippet size | Under 15 KB, synchronous load, CLS = 0 |
| Dashboard connection signal | Domain name appears next to SeaText logo |
| Activation visit requirement | Stay on any page for ≥ 40 seconds |
| Typical propagation time | 5 minutes (up to 10 minutes max) |
| Next step after connection | Activate agents in Main AI Hub → Configuration |
| Support escalation | Contact SeaText support if domain not visible after 10 minutes |
www or non-www) that visitors will hit.Once the dashboard shows "Active" and agents are enabled, SeaText begins rewriting page elements for each visitor based on their traffic source (Google Ads, Meta, email, referral, organic). It also starts logging suspicious click patterns for the Bot Refund Agent. You can review and edit generated variants under Variants Edit in the left panel, selecting the URL and language you want to adjust. All changes stay on your single canonical Thinkific URL—no duplicate landing pages are created.
Typically five minutes after the 40-second visit. The integration guide allows up to 10 minutes before recommending a support ticket.
Yes. Inspect the page source on your Thinkific site and search for the SeaText script tag. Its presence confirms the snippet is loading. However, only the dashboard confirms the domain is registered and agents are active.
Theme changes do not affect the Site Footer Code field. The snippet persists across themes. Verify once after a theme change as a precaution.
thinkific.com subdomain?Register the custom domain (e.g., courses.yourbrand.com) in the SEATEXTURLPUSH form. The verification steps are identical.
The script is under 15 KB, loads synchronously before paint, and adds zero Cumulative Layout Shift. PageSpeed scores are preserved.
The snippet loads site-wide. Use the Main AI Hub → Configuration panel to enable or disable agents per URL pattern if you need page-level control.
Log into the SeaText dashboard, navigate to Thinkific Integration, and copy the code from Step 1 again.
After verification, configure the agents that match your goals: enable the Google Ads Landing Page Agent if you run paid search, the Translation Agent for international students, or the Bot Refund Agent to recover invalid click spend. Each agent can be toggled independently in the Main AI Hub.

If you want proof that SeaText is stopping fraudulent clicks, start in the dashboard. The Bot Refund Agent logs each paid visit, flags suspicious sessions in real time, and builds a forensic report you can submit to Google, Meta, TikTok, or Reddit for a refund. Verification comes down to three actions: read the blocked-traffic report, compare your pre- and post-activation click-through rates, and export the raw session logs for an independent review.
The Bot Refund Agent sits on your site and inspects every paid click the moment it lands. It checks for automation signatures, spoofed device data, data-center IPs, and behavioral patterns that indicate non-human traffic. When it finds a suspicious session, it records the full visit — timestamp, referrer, user agent, IP reputation, mouse movements, scroll depth, and dwell time — and adds that session to a running evidence ledger. That ledger becomes the refund report.
According to SeaText, the agent blocks bot clicks in roughly 10 milliseconds and compiles court-ready PDF audits. The company states that 87% of clients who submit these reports have them accepted by Google and Meta, and that the typical bot traffic benchmark is around 20% of paid clicks.
The dashboard shows three key views:
Pay attention to the "risk score" column (0–100). Scores above 80 are almost certainly bots. Scores 50–80 are borderline — review the session replay before counting them as blocked.
This comparison is your strongest internal proof. Use a spreadsheet:
| Metric | 14 Days Before | 14 Days After | Change | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total paid clicks | — | — | ↓ expected | Bots no longer clicking |
| Click-through rate (CTR) | — | — | ↓ or flat | Fewer junk clicks inflating denominator |
| Conversion rate (CVR) | — | — | ↑ expected | Cleaner traffic converts better |
| Cost per acquisition (CPA) | — | — | ↓ expected | Less wasted spend |
| Bounce rate | — | — | ↓ expected | Bots bounce instantly; humans stay |
If CTR drops but CVR and CPA improve, the agent is working. If everything drops, check that the snippet isn't blocking legitimate users (see Common Mistakes).
The "Export Evidence" button in the Bot Refund section downloads a CSV with every flagged session. Fields include:
Give this file to your auditor. They can cross-reference the click IDs with your ad-platform billing data and verify that each flagged session matches known bot signatures (data-center ASN, headless browser user agent, zero mouse events, etc.). SeaText also generates a PDF audit report formatted for Google and Meta's refund submission portals.
| Fact | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Bot traffic benchmark | ~20% of paid clicks | S1, S2 |
| Client refund-report acceptance rate | 87% of submitted reports accepted by Google/Meta | S1, S2 |
| Detection latency | ~10 ms per click | S1 |
| Supported refund platforms | Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit | S1, S2 |
| Evidence format | CSV session logs + court-ready PDF audit | S1, S2 |
| Reported recovered spend | $1.2M aggregate across clients | S3 |
Immediately. The agent evaluates each paid visit in real time. The first flagged session appears within minutes of activation, assuming paid traffic is flowing.
Yes. The campaign-breakdown view splits block rate by keyword. Use it to add negative keywords or shift budget away from high-bot terms.
SeaText's aggregate acceptance rate is 87%. Rejections usually happen when the claim covers a platform or click type not covered by Google's policy (e.g., display-network clicks, or clicks older than 60 days). Review the rejection reason, adjust the date range or campaign filter, and resubmit.
The agent runs at the edge and in the browser. It cannot prevent the ad platform from charging for the click, but it stops the bot from poisoning your pixel data and records the evidence needed to get the money back.
Yes. The CSV export is a tamper-evident record of every flagged session. Agencies managing your ad spend can audit the same data.
Blocking stops immediately. Historical logs remain in the dashboard for 90 days (configurable), but new paid visits will no longer be inspected or recorded.
Use the "Test Mode" toggle in the console. It simulates a handful of bot-like visits (headless Chrome, data-center IP, zero mouse events) and shows you the resulting dashboard entries and PDF report — no real ad clicks required.

To verify that the SeaText JavaScript is correctly loaded in Tilda, use the published page, not the editor. Open the browser’s developer tools, check the Network tab for the SeaText script request, and confirm it returns a 200 status. Then check the Console for SeaText messages or errors. A loaded script is the first step; activation and account linking come next.
There are two places where the SeaText code can live in Tilda. You can paste it into the Edit code inside HEAD tag field so it runs on every page, or you can add it to one page with a T123 block. The verification steps below cover both.
A correct load has three clear signals:
Do not confuse “the script loaded” with “the AI is active.” The SeaText integration guide says the installation process is secure and the AI remains inert until activated. That is why verification has two stages: confirm the file loads, then confirm the account link.
Verification is only useful when the install is complete. Check these three things first:
If the page is not published, the live site will never show the script. Start verification only after Tilda has published the site.
Work through this sequence in order. The first two checks tell you whether the code is in the page. The third and fourth tell you whether the browser can load it. The fifth tells you whether SeaText can link the traffic to your account.
Right-click anywhere on the published Tilda page and choose Inspect. Open the Network tab and reload the page. If the page redirects, tick Preserve log before reloading so you do not lose the request.
Use the filter box at the top and type seatext. The list will narrow to the script request. Click it and look at the Status column. A 200 response is the result you want. If you see 304, that also means the script has been loaded from the browser cache, which is fine for verification, but confirm the actual file exists.
Common failure statuses include:
This tab tells you whether the browser fetched the file. It does not tell you whether the account link is ready.
Open the Console tab alongside the Network tab. Type “seatext” in the filter to see only related messages. Some SeaText versions may log a successful initialization message; others stay quiet. Do not rely on one specific message because the log format can change.
What matters more is errors. If you see a network error, a Content Security Policy error, or a JavaScript exception that mentions seatext, treat it as a failed load and fix the cause.
If the console is empty, check the Network tab again. An empty console is common for a script that loads and runs without logging.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The script only appears on one page | The code is in a T123 block, not the site-wide HEAD field | Use Site Settings → More → HTML code for the head section → Edit code inside HEAD tag |
| The live page source has no seatext code | The page was saved but not published | Click Publish in Tilda and verify again |
| The Network request fails | Ad blocker, content security policy, or wrong domain | Test in an incognito window, allow the script, or check the console error |
| The website name does not show in the SeaText dashboard | The activation visit has not happened yet | Visit or refresh the site several times and stay at least 40 seconds; wait five minutes |
| You use the same SeaText account on two domains | Each account is linked to one primary URL | Create a separate account for each domain |
Readers often ask “is the script loaded?” when they really want to know “is SeaText working?” These are different questions.
You can have a loaded script and no account link if activation never happened or if the traffic came from the wrong domain. Complete all three stages before you conclude that SeaText is fully installed.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where the script goes for all pages | Site Settings → More → HTML code for the head section → Edit code inside HEAD tag |
| Where the script goes for one page | T123 block → Other → Content → paste code → Save and Close → Publish |
| Activation behavior | Visit or refresh the site several times and stay at least 40 seconds |
| Account link confirmation | Wait at least five minutes; your website name should appear next to the SEATEXT logo |
| Domain rule | One account per primary URL; separate accounts for each domain |
| Restricted URLs | localhost and dynamic development domains are restricted or may not work reliably |
The verification sequence above assumes a real, published Tilda site. The integration guide lists important restrictions:
Also, these steps only verify the script and the account link. They do not measure conversion rate, translation quality, or ad agent performance. Open the SeaText dashboard after the linking step to see which agents are active.
Wait at least five minutes. Before that, visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds to activate the script and link it to your account.
No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may also fail to link traffic to your account. Use a valid, real domain.
For all pages: Site Settings → More → HTML code for the head section → Edit code inside HEAD tag. For a single page: add a T123 block, choose Other, paste the code in Content, then Save and Close and Publish.
No. A 200 status only means the browser loaded the script. Activation requires the 40-second visit, and account linking requires the five-minute wait. Confirm the website name next to the SEATEXT logo.
Check the Network tab for a 200 response. A clean console is not a reliable sign of failure. If the network request succeeded and the dashboard eventually shows your website name, the installation is working.
No. Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. Create one account for each website or domain.

Verifying that the SeaText AI script loads without errors is the first step to ensuring AI translations, personalization, and conversion optimization work as expected. The verification process uses standard browser developer tools and takes less than a minute once you know where to look.
You need access to the website where the SeaText snippet has been added. The snippet must already be placed in your HTML—typically inside the body tag of index.html or the equivalent initialization file for your SPA framework. If you haven't added the snippet yet, follow the installation guide for your framework first.
Have a modern browser ready (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari). No special extensions or command-line tools are required.
If all requests return 200 and the Console shows no SeaText-related errors, the script has loaded correctly.
After the script loads, SeaText exposes a global object on window. In the Console tab, type:
typeof window.SeaTextIt should return "object" (or the specific namespace SeaText uses). If it returns "undefined", the script either failed to load or hasn't executed yet. Wait a moment and retry—SeaText loads asynchronously via the async attribute on the script tag, so there can be a brief delay before the object is available.
You can also inspect the object's properties to confirm initialization:
console.log(window.SeaText)This prints the full object, letting you verify configuration values and agent status.
Click the SeaText script row in the Network tab to open the detail pane. Verify:
Content-Type: application/javascript (or text/javascript).If the request shows a 404, 403, 5xx, or a CORS error, the script URL is wrong, blocked, or the CDN is unreachable. Copy the request URL and open it in a new tab to see the raw response.
If your site uses a strict CSP, the SeaText script domain must be whitelisted in script-src. The Console will show a CSP violation error with the blocked URL. Add the SeaText CDN domain to your CSP header or meta tag.
SeaText stores an ID in localStorage. If your site runs in a sandboxed iframe or a privacy mode that blocks storage, the script may throw a SecurityError or DOMException. Ensure the page context allows localStorage access.
If your SPA interacts with multiple domains, the SeaText script must load on each domain where you want it active. Verify the snippet is present on every domain's entry point and that no cross-origin restrictions block the script or its API calls.
Because the snippet uses async, the script may load after your framework's initial render. In React, Vue, or Angular, this is normal. If you need to interact with SeaText immediately after mount, listen for the script's load event or poll window.SeaText until defined.
After adding the snippet to public/index.html (or your framework's entry HTML), run npm start. Open DevTools and follow the verification steps above. SeaText's documentation explicitly recommends checking Console and Network tabs after npm start.
Place the snippet in index.html or your main entry file. Run npm run serve and verify using the same DevTools workflow.
Add the snippet to src/index.html. Run ng serve and inspect Console and Network tabs.
In all three frameworks, the verification steps are identical because the script loads at the browser level, not inside the framework's module system.
| Check | Pass Criteria | Where to Look |
|---|---|---|
| Script request status | 200 OK (or 304 cached) | Network tab |
| Console errors | No red errors referencing SeaText | Console tab |
| Global object | typeof window.SeaText === "object" | Console evaluation |
| Content-Type header | application/javascript | Network → Headers |
| Local storage write | No SecurityError in Console | Console tab |
| Functionality spot-check | Translations, personalization, or agents activate | Page interaction |
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Script loading method | Async script tag (async attribute) |
| Global namespace | window.SeaText (verify in Console) |
| Local storage usage | Stores an ID; requires localStorage permission |
| Supported SPA frameworks | React, Vue.js, Angular (and any SPA via index.html) |
| Verification tools | Browser DevTools (F12) — Console and Network tabs |
| Typical load time | Tens to low hundreds of milliseconds |
You should see no red error messages referencing the SeaText script URL. A successful load is mostly silent; the confirmation is the presence of window.SeaText and a 200 network response.
window.SeaText return undefined immediately after page load?The script loads asynchronously (async attribute). Wait a few hundred milliseconds and re-check, or listen for the script's onload event if you need to run code the moment it's ready.
Yes. In Cypress, Playwright, or Puppeteer, wait for window.SeaText to be defined and assert the network request returns 200. The same selectors used in manual DevTools work in headless mode.
Script load is necessary but not sufficient. Check that agents are activated in your SeaText dashboard, the AI scope is configured, and the page content matches the selectors SeaText expects. That configuration step is separate from script loading.
localStorage is blocked?The script stores an ID in localStorage. If storage is blocked (private browsing, sandboxed iframe, CSP storage directive), the script may error or degrade. Allow localStorage for the SeaText domain.
The snippet you paste into your HTML contains the exact script URL. Copy that URL from your snippet and search for it in the Network tab to confirm it's the one being requested.
Only include the snippet once per page. Duplicate snippets can cause double initialization, duplicate network requests, and unpredictable behavior. Verify in the Network tab that the script is requested exactly once per page load.
