When to Run a Verification Test After Adding SeaText to Tilda

After you paste the SeaText JavaScript into Tilda and publish the page, run a verification test immediately. Run it again after every Tilda template or block change. This confirms the script is live and linked to your SeaText account.

Step	What to do	Why it matters
1. Publish page	Save and publish the Tilda page containing the SeaText code.	Makes the script reachable by visitors.
2. Stay on page	Refresh the page and stay for at least 40 seconds.	Activates the AI and links it to your account.
3. Wait for indicator	Wait at least five minutes until the SeaText logo shows your site name.	Confirms the connection is ready for the next steps.
4. Re-verify after changes	Run the same check after any template or block change.	Ensures the script still works after edits.

The table shows the four-step routine. Use it every time you install, update, or republish. Keep the order the same: publish, stay, wait, re-verify.

When to Run the Verification Test

Run the first test right after you publish. Do not wait until the next day. The test takes only a few minutes.

Run another test after any Tilda change. This includes template edits, block changes, and republishing. If you move a block or change the domain, test again.

Why? Tilda can overwrite code during theme or block updates. A page can look fine while the script is missing. The verification test catches that.

You should also test if the SeaText logo disappears from your dashboard. A missing logo often means the connection is broken.

If you are unsure whether a test is needed, run it. A successful test gives you confidence. It also gives you a clean baseline before you activate agents.

How the Activation Heartbeat Process Works

SeaText keeps the AI inert until someone loads the page. The script does not rewrite anything on its own. It waits for an activation signal.

When you visit or refresh the page, the script sends a heartbeat to SeaText's servers. The heartbeat is a small connection message. It tells SeaText which page and domain made the request.

The server records the visit. Then it links the visit to your account. Your dashboard shows the SeaText logo with your site name when the link is complete.

This process is why the first visit matters. Without a successful heartbeat, the AI cannot start. Agents stay inactive. Your ad spend and traffic do not benefit.

The heartbeat is not a pageview counter. It is a connection check between the page and your SeaText dashboard. Each refresh sends a fresh signal. That is why the instructions say several times.

The server also checks the domain against your account. If they do not match, the link fails. The logo never appears.

Why 40 Seconds and the Five-Minute Wait Matter

SeaText asks you to stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This is not an arbitrary delay. The page needs time to load fully. The script needs time to send its heartbeat. A short visit can end before the signal is complete.

You should visit or refresh the page several times. One visit is often enough, but several visits make the connection more reliable. Each visit sends another heartbeat.

After that, wait at least five minutes. The server needs time to process the request. It also has to match the page to the correct account. Network latency and caching can add delay.

Do not skip the wait. If you check too early, the logo may not be there yet. That is not a failure. Refresh the page and wait again.

The 40-second window also lets the rest of the page settle. SeaText needs a stable page state. The five-minute window is a safety buffer. It covers slow networks, CDN caching, and busy servers.

Tilda HEAD-Field vs T123 Block Placement

Tilda gives you two main ways to add the SeaText code. The first is the HEAD field. This is in Site Settings. Tilda labels it "Edit code inside HEAD tag". Paste the code there, save, and publish. The script goes into the head of every page on the site.

The second way is a T123 block. Add a T123 block to a specific page. Open Content, paste the code, save, and publish. The script only runs on that one page.

This changes your verification scope. With the HEAD field, one successful test proves the script is on all pages. With a T123 block, a successful test only proves that one page is working.

If you want site-wide verification, use the HEAD field. This is the recommended method. It also makes future template changes easier to verify.

If you are piloting SeaText on a single landing page, a T123 block can work. Just remember that other pages are not covered. You would need to add the block to each page separately.

Placement	Where the code is added	Verification scope
HEAD field	Site Settings → "Edit code inside HEAD tag"	All pages on the site
T123 block	Inside a single page	Only that page

Save is not publish. A saved draft does not send the script to visitors. Click Publish before you run the verification test.

Multiple Domains Require Separate SeaText Accounts

Each SeaText account is linked to one primary URL. You cannot use one account for two domains. If you need SeaText on a development domain and a production domain, create separate accounts.

The same rule applies to multiple websites. Create one account per website. Do not reuse the same script across different domains.

Development URLs such as localhost are restricted. SeaText blocks them for security reasons. The script cannot reliably associate that traffic with your account.

Use a real staging or production domain for verification. Dynamic development domains may also fail. Even if the page loads, the verification may never complete.

Imagine a staging site at staging.example.com and a live site at example.com. They are different primary URLs. Each needs its own account.

If you copy the same script to both, the dashboard may only link to one. The other will fail verification. Before creating an account, choose the exact primary domain.

Troubleshooting Flow: When the Logo Never Appears

Follow this flow when the logo does not appear after five minutes.

1. Refresh the page and wait another five minutes.
2. Confirm the code is in the correct HEAD field or T123 block.
3. Open the page on a real domain, not localhost.
4. Check that the page is published and reachable.
5. Disable ad blockers or browser extensions, then try again.
6. Test in a different browser or an incognito window.
7. Confirm the SeaText account matches the domain.
8. If using a T123 block, open the exact page that contains the block.

Start with the quickest fix: wait, refresh, check domain. Most failures are one of those three.

Ad blockers can stop external scripts. Add an exception for SeaText during the test. Then refresh the page again.

A T123 block only fires on the page where you placed it. Check the URL in the browser. If you are on another page, the script will not run.

If the code is in the HEAD field, check the site settings. It is easy to paste into the wrong field. Compare your code with the one in your SeaText account.

If you still see no logo, contact SeaText support. Include your domain and the placement you used.

Readiness Checklist

Use this checklist before you move to the next step.

• SeaText account is created for the correct domain.
• Code is placed in the HEAD field or a T123 block.
• Page is published on a real domain.
• Page has been visited or refreshed for at least 40 seconds.
• You waited at least five minutes.
• SeaText logo shows your site name.
• No template or block changes since the last successful test.

Keep this checklist near your setup notes. Use it after every change. It turns a confusing wait into a simple routine.

FAQ

Do I need to run the test on every page?

It depends on where you placed the code. A HEAD-field installation covers all pages, so one successful test proves the script works site-wide. A T123 block covers only the page it is on. For site-wide verification, use the HEAD-field method.

What if the logo never appears?

Go through the troubleshooting flow. Check the placement, the domain, the publish status, and any browser extensions.

Can I use localhost for the verification test?

No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted. Use a real staging or production domain.

Do I need a separate account for each domain?

Yes. Each SeaText account is linked to one primary URL. Separate domains need separate accounts.

Does the script change anything before activation?

No. The AI remains inert until the page is visited and the heartbeat is sent. Visitors see the original page until the connection is complete.

What should I do after the logo appears?

You can activate the agents you need and check the dashboard for your site name and connection status.
