How to Check If SeaText AI Is Active on a Specific Page
You can confirm SeaText AI is active on a page by checking the page source for the SeaText JavaScript snippet and by using the SeaText dashboard's page status indicator. The dashboard shows your website...
To check if SeaText AI is active on a specific page, open the page in your browser, view the page source, and look for the SeaText JavaScript snippet. Then log in to your SeaText dashboard and check the page status indicator next to the SeaText logo. If your website name appears there, the script is connected. The Main AI Hub shows which agents are enabled for that URL.
Prerequisites for Checking Activation
Before you can verify activation, you need a SeaText AI account and the JavaScript snippet installed on your site. The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated, so a page can have the script but no active agents.
- SeaText account: Create one if you don't have one yet. Each account is linked to a single primary URL.
- JavaScript snippet: Copy the code from the General Integration page in your dashboard and install it across all pages.
- Valid domain: Development URLs like localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a real, production domain.
Step 1: Check the Page Source for the SeaText Script
The fastest way to confirm the script is present is to view the page source. Right-click anywhere on the page and select "View Page Source" or press Ctrl+U on Windows or Cmd+Option+U on Mac.
- Open the page you want to check.
- View the page source.
- Search for "seatext" or the specific script URL provided in your dashboard.
- If the script tag is present, the page is instrumented. If not, the script was not installed on that page.
A common mistake is checking only the homepage. If you installed the script site-wide, it should appear on every page. If you used a plugin like the WP Engine custom JavaScript plugin, confirm the plugin is active on all pages, not just the homepage.
Step 2: Verify the Website Connection in the Dashboard
After the script is installed, SeaText needs to associate your website traffic with your account. Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.
Then wait at least five minutes. Check the top of the SeaText dashboard page. If your website name appears next to the SeaText logo, your website is connected and ready. If you do not see it after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support. This could indicate an installation issue.
Step 3: Check the Main AI Hub for Page-Specific Activation
The script being present and the website being connected does not mean every agent is active on every page. SeaText AI remains inert until you activate agents. To see which agents are active on a specific page:
- Log in to your SeaText account.
- Open the Main AI Hub.
- Look for the page or URL pattern you want to check.
- Review which agents are enabled for that page.
- Click "Configuration" to adjust AI parameters for that page.
If no agents are enabled for a URL, the AI is not active on that page, even if the script is installed.
Step 4: Confirm with a Live Test
For a final verification, open the page in a normal browser session and look for visible AI-driven changes. For example, if you enabled the Google Ads Optimization Agent, visit the page through a Google ad click and check whether the headline or CTA matches the keyword. If you enabled the Translation Agent, switch the language and see if the page translates.
Keep in mind that some agents work in the background, such as the Bot Protection Agent. For those, check the dashboard reporting rather than looking for visible page changes.
Common Mistakes When Checking Activation
- Checking too soon: SeaText needs at least five minutes after the first visit to show the website name in the dashboard.
- Checking the wrong domain: Each SeaText account is linked to one primary URL. If you check a development domain, it may not be associated with your account.
- Assuming script presence equals activation: The script can be installed but no agents enabled. Always check the Main AI Hub.
- Using a cached page: Hard-refresh the page or open it in an incognito window to see the latest version.

What to Do After Confirming Activation
Once your website name appears in the dashboard and you can see the page in the Main AI Hub, you are ready to move from verification to configuration. The next steps make sure the AI is doing useful work on that specific page.
Enable the Agents You Need
Open the Main AI Hub and choose the page or URL pattern you want to manage. Decide which agents should run there. For example, enable the Google Ads Optimization Agent on pages that receive paid traffic. Enable the Bot Protection Agent on pages that are used in ad campaigns. If you do not enable an agent, the AI will not change anything on that page.
Configure Agent Behavior Per URL
Click "Configuration" next to the agent you enabled. Set the parameters for that URL. For the Google Ads Optimization Agent, tell it which campaign or keyword groups matter. For the Translation Agent, choose the languages you want to make available. For the CRO Optimizer, define the page elements it is allowed to test. These settings control what the agent can rewrite, translate, or optimize.
Run a Live Test
After configuration, test the page as a visitor would. For keyword-based agents, open the page through a real Google Ads click or add the matching keyword parameter to the URL. For translation, switch to one of the configured languages and check the headline, buttons, and body copy. For background agents like Bot Protection, run a normal session and then review the dashboard events for that URL.
Monitor Dashboard Reporting
SeaText tracks results by page, keyword, and version. Check the dashboard regularly to see which variants are performing. Look at conversion rate, bounce rate, and traffic changes for the page you just activated. If an agent is not producing the expected results, return to the Main AI Hub and adjust the configuration or disable the agent for that URL.
Review the First Variants
SeaText provides an initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. Log in to your SeaText account and navigate to "Variants Edit" in the left panel. Select the URL and language you want to review. Here you can manually edit, approve, or remove the variants before they continue running.
Add Other Pages or Domains
If you want SeaText AI on another page, go back to the Main AI Hub and enable the same agents on that URL. If you need to use a separate production domain, create a separate SeaText account for it. Each account is linked to a single primary URL.
When the Standard Check Does Not Apply
If you are using a development or staging domain, the standard dashboard check may not work. SeaText restricts development URLs for security reasons and may not reliably associate traffic with your account. Use a production domain for verification.
If you use multiple domains, such as a development domain and a production domain, you must create separate SeaText accounts for each domain. Checking activation on one account will not show the status of the other.
Terminology
- Inert: The SeaText script is installed but no AI agents are running. The page content remains unchanged.
- Main AI Hub: The dashboard area where you activate agents and choose which pages they run on.
- Configuration: The settings area where you adjust AI parameters for a specific page or agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my website name not showing in the SeaText dashboard?
You may have checked too soon. Wait at least five minutes after visiting your site. If it still does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support. The script may not be installed correctly.
How long does it take for SeaText AI to activate?
After you install the script and visit your site for at least 40 seconds, wait about five minutes for the dashboard to show your website name. Agent activation in the Main AI Hub is immediate after that.
Can I check activation on a development site?
No. Development URLs like localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain. If you need a development domain, create a separate SeaText account for it.
What does it mean if the script is present but no agents are active?
The script is installed but you have not enabled any agents for that page in the Main AI Hub. The AI remains inert until you activate agents on specific URLs.
How do I know which agents are active on a page?
Open the Main AI Hub in your SeaText dashboard. It shows which agents are enabled for each URL or page pattern. Click "Configuration" to see or change the parameters.
What should I do if the page source does not show the SeaText script?
Reinstall the script on that page. If you use a plugin like the WP Engine custom JavaScript plugin, confirm it is active across all pages. Then revisit the page and check the dashboard again.
