How to Test If SeaText Is Working on Your Weebly Site: A Verification Checklist
After adding the SeaText snippet to Weebly, confirm the script is live by checking the SeaText dashboard for your site name, visiting your published pages and staying at least 40 seconds to trigger activation,...
| Testing Scenario | Eligibility | Data Collection | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Localhost or 127.0.0.1 | Not eligible | No data collection | Use a real public domain; each domain needs its own SeaText account |
| Weebly preview URL (e.g., mysite.weebly.com) | Eligible if published and public | Data collected after 40-second dwell | Test on the published subdomain; wait 5–10 minutes for dashboard update |
| Live custom domain (e.g., example.com) | Eligible | Data collected after 40-second dwell | Standard verification path; check dashboard within 10 minutes |
| Staging subdomain (e.g., staging.example.com) | Eligible if public and not blocked | Data collected after 40-second dwell | Requires separate SeaText account; verify via dashboard |
Why this matters
Accurate telemetry is the foundation for SeaText’s AI activation and conversion tracking. When the script fails to register, the AI cannot analyze visitor behavior or adapt content in real time. This means landing pages remain generic, ad spend is wasted on mismatched experiences, and optimization opportunities are lost. Failed verification directly impacts AI agent performance because the system relies on dwell time and reading telemetry to trigger keyword-specific rewrites and intent-based personalization. Without confirmed data collection, campaign optimization becomes guesswork, and you cannot trust metrics like conversion lift or ROAS scaling reported in the dashboard.
Prerequisites before you test
- A live SeaText account — each domain needs its own account.
- The JavaScript snippet copied from your SeaText account page.
- A published Weebly site on a real domain (not localhost or a temporary preview URL).
- Access to Weebly’s Settings → SEO → Footer Code area.
Step-by-step verification checklist
- Install the snippet. In Weebly, go to Website → Edit Site → Settings → SEO, paste the code into Footer Code, click Save, then Publish.
- Visit your live site. Open the published URL in a browser. Stay on any page for at least 40 seconds. This dwell time activates the AI and links the session to your account.
- Refresh a few times. Reload the page two or three times to ensure the script fires on each load.
- Check the SeaText dashboard. Log in and look at the top of the page. Your website name should appear next to the SeaText logo within five minutes.
- Wait up to ten minutes. If the name is still missing after ten minutes, something blocked the connection — often a caching layer, a content-security-policy header, or a restricted development domain.
- Contact support if needed. When the site name does not appear after ten minutes, reach out to SeaText support; they can diagnose whether the snippet loaded and whether the domain is eligible.
Dashboard signals that confirm data collection
The SeaText dashboard is the single source of truth. When the integration succeeds, the dashboard displays your site name beside the SeaText logo. That label means the script has phoned home, registered the domain, and begun recording visitor telemetry. No separate "widget" appears on your front end; the verification is entirely server-side. This signal confirms that the AI is active and ready to process reading telemetry for conversion optimization.
On-site checks you can run yourself
- View page source. Search for the SeaText snippet in the rendered HTML. It should sit just before the closing
</body>tag. - Browser dev tools → Network tab. Filter for “seatext” or the script filename. A 200 response confirms the file downloaded.
- Console errors. Red errors referencing the SeaText domain indicate a blocked request (CSP, ad blocker, or network policy).
Common reasons the check fails
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Site name never appears in dashboard | Snippet placed in Header Code instead of Footer Code | Move snippet to Settings → SEO → Footer Code, republish |
| Script loads but no dashboard update | Domain is localhost or a dynamic preview URL | Use a real, public domain; each domain needs its own SeaText account |
| Console shows CSP error | Content-Security-Policy blocks external scripts | Add SeaText domain to script-src directive or use a nonce |
| Dashboard shows name but no visitor data | Traffic is too low or visits under 40 seconds | Generate a few test visits lasting 40+ seconds each |
Limitations and when this checklist does not apply
- Each SeaText account supports only one primary URL. Multiple domains (staging, production, regional) require separate accounts due to strict account-per-domain policies enforced for security and accurate telemetry attribution.
- Development environments such as
localhost,127.0.0.1, or Weebly preview subdomains are restricted for security and will not register, even if the snippet loads successfully. - The 40-second dwell requirement is intentional; brief bounces do not activate the AI because the system needs sufficient time to capture meaningful reading telemetry for intent analysis.
- If you use a caching plugin or Cloudflare page rules that strip inline scripts, the snippet may be removed at edge. Purge cache after publishing and verify the script appears in the Network tab.
- Overly restrictive Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can block the SeaText script from executing, requiring explicit allowance of the SeaText domain in the
script-srcdirective or use of a nonce-based approach.
Key facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Installation location | Weebly Settings → SEO → Footer Code |
| Activation dwell time | At least 40 seconds on a live page |
| Dashboard confirmation window | 5–10 minutes after first qualified visit |
| Domain policy | One primary URL per SeaText account; localhost and dynamic dev URLs blocked |
| Support escalation | Contact support if site name absent after 10 minutes |
FAQ
What happens if activation fails after I’ve followed all steps?
If the site name does not appear in the dashboard after ten minutes, SeaText cannot collect telemetry or activate AI agents. This means no real-time keyword adaptation, no intent-based personalization, and no conversion lift from AI optimization. You must troubleshoot the installation — check snippet placement, domain eligibility, and CSP settings — or contact support for diagnostics.
How can I verify data collection if I don’t have access to the SeaText dashboard?
Without dashboard access, you cannot confirm data collection because verification is server-side. However, you can indirectly verify script loading by checking the Network tab for a 200 response to the SeaText script and ensuring no console errors. If the script loads and you dwell for 40+ seconds, telemetry is likely being sent — but only the dashboard confirms successful registration and activation.
What should I do if I see error code SEA-1001 in the console?
Error SEA-1001 indicates the SeaText script was blocked by a Content Security Policy. To fix it, add *.seatext.com to the script-src directive in your CSP header or implement a nonce that matches the script tag. After updating the policy, republish your site and retest.
Why does the dashboard show my site name but no visitor data after testing?
The site name confirms the script registered your domain, but visitor data requires sessions lasting at least 40 seconds. If visits are shorter, the AI does not activate. Run multiple test visits where you stay on the page for over 40 seconds each to generate qualifying telemetry.
Can I use the same SeaText account for my Weebly site and a staging subdomain?
No. Each distinct domain or subdomain requires its own SeaText account due to the account-per-domain policy. Using one account for multiple domains will result in only the primary URL being registered; others will not appear in the dashboard.
Is the 40-second rule applied per visitor or per session?
The 40-second dwell is required per session to trigger AI activation. Once activated in a session, subsequent page views in that same session are already linked to your account and contribute to ongoing telemetry without needing another 40-second wait.
