How to Check if SeaText Is Working on All Your Squarespace Pages

Quick Answer: How to Verify SeaText on Your Squarespace Site

To check if SeaText is working on all your Squarespace pages, you need to confirm two things: the script is loaded on each page, and the AI has been activated for your account. The fastest way to check the script is to view the page source or use your browser's developer tools to search for the SeaText JavaScript snippet. The most reliable way to confirm full activation is to visit or refresh your website several times, stay on each page for at least 40 seconds, and then check your SeaText dashboard for your website name next to the SeaText logo.

Why This Matters

If SeaText is not working on some pages, those pages won't get the AI-powered conversion optimization, translation, or SEO benefits. Visitors on those pages will see static content instead of personalized, real-time adaptations. This creates an inconsistent experience and means you're leaving conversions on the table for a portion of your traffic.

Ignoring this check can also lead to wasted ad spend. If your Google Ads landing pages aren't being rewritten to match keywords, you'll see higher bounce rates and lower conversion rates on those specific pages.

How SeaText Works on Squarespace

SeaText installs via a single JavaScript code snippet that you paste into your Squarespace site's Code Injection area. This snippet goes into the HEADER section, which means it loads on every page of your site automatically. The script is inert until activated, so it won't change your content until you've completed the activation steps.

Once activated, the AI reads visitor behavior and adapts your page content in real time. It can rewrite headlines to match Google Ads keywords, translate content into 125 languages, and optimize copy based on reading telemetry.

Step-by-Step Verification Process

Step 1: Confirm the Script Is Installed

1. Log in to your Squarespace dashboard.
2. Click the three dots icon and select Settings.
3. Navigate to Developer Tools at the bottom of the page.
4. Click Code Injection.
5. Check that the SeaText JavaScript snippet is present in the HEADER field.
6. Confirm you clicked Save after pasting the code.

Step 2: Publish Your Site

Changes to Code Injection only take effect after you publish your site. If you're working in a preview or draft mode, the script won't be live. Go to your Squarespace dashboard and click Publish to apply the changes.

Step 3: Check the Script on Individual Pages

To verify the script loads on a specific page:

1. Open the page in your browser.
2. Right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source (or press Ctrl+U on Windows or Cmd+Option+U on Mac).
3. Search for seatext or the script identifier from your SeaText account.
4. If you find the script, it's loaded on that page.

Alternatively, use browser developer tools:

1. Press F12 or right-click and select Inspect.
2. Go to the Network tab.
3. Refresh the page.
4. Look for a request containing seatext in the URL or filename.

Step 4: Activate the AI

Installing the script is only half the process. You also need to activate the AI for your account:

1. Visit or refresh your website several times.
2. Stay on your page for at least 40 seconds each time.
3. Wait at least 5 minutes.
4. Check your SeaText dashboard for your website name next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page.

If you see your website name, your site is connected and ready. If you don't see it after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support immediately—this could indicate an installation issue.

Step 5: Configure AI on Your Preferred Pages

After activation, go to the Main AI Hub in your SeaText dashboard. Click on Configuration to adjust AI parameters and choose which pages should have AI active. You can also review the initial round of automatic translations and variants SeaText provides for testing.

Common Mistakes That Make SeaText Appear Broken

How to Check Multiple Pages Efficiently

If you have many pages, checking each one manually is time-consuming. Here's a faster approach:

1. Use your browser's developer tools to check the Network tab on one page.
2. Confirm the script loads.
3. Since the script is in the HEADER, it should load on every page automatically.
4. Spot-check a few key pages: your homepage, a product page, a blog post, and a landing page.
5. If the script loads on those, it's almost certainly loading on all pages.

For a more thorough check, use a tool like Screaming Frog or a browser extension that can crawl your site and detect the script on each page.

What to Do If SeaText Isn't Working on Some Pages

If you find pages where the script isn't loading, check these common causes:

• Page-specific code injection: Some Squarespace templates allow per-page code injection. Make sure you haven't accidentally overridden the global header code on specific pages.
• Caching: Your browser or a CDN might be serving a cached version of the page. Clear your cache or use an incognito window.
• Template conflicts: Some custom templates might strip or modify header code. Check if the issue is consistent across all pages or only on certain templates.
• Multiple domains: If you're using SeaText on multiple domains, you need a separate account for each domain. Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL.

Limitations and When This Check Doesn't Apply

This verification process applies to standard Squarespace sites with Code Injection enabled. It doesn't apply to:

• Squarespace trial sites: Trial sites may not support Code Injection or may behave differently.
• Development domains: Localhost and dynamic development domains are restricted for security reasons and may not function properly.
• Covered pages: If you have password-protected pages or members-only areas, the script may not load for visitors who haven't logged in.

Key Facts at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for SeaText to appear as active?

After you visit or refresh your site and stay for at least 40 seconds, wait at least 5 minutes. Your website name should appear next to the SeaText logo. If it doesn't show after 10 minutes, contact support.

Do I need to check every single page?

No. Since the script is in the global HEADER, it loads on all pages. Spot-check a few key pages to confirm, and you can be confident it's working site-wide.

What if I see the script in the source but the AI isn't working?

This means the script is installed but not activated. Visit your site, stay for 40+ seconds, and wait for your website name to appear in your SeaText dashboard. Then configure the AI on your preferred pages.

Can I use SeaText on multiple Squarespace sites?

Yes, but you need a separate SeaText account for each website. Each account is linked to a single primary URL.

Why isn't SeaText working on my development domain?

Development URLs like localhost are restricted for security reasons. SeaText may not be able to reliably associate traffic with your account. Use a valid, real domain instead.

What should I do if I don't see my website name after 10 minutes?

Contact SeaText support immediately. This could indicate an issue during installation on your platform, and you may need assistance.

Does SeaText change my content immediately after installation?

No. The AI remains inert until activated. Your content stays exactly as you wrote it until you activate the AI and configure it on your preferred pages.
