Why isn't SeaText AI connecting to my Jimdo site?

SeaText AI usually fails to connect because your Jimdo site isn't running in "For advanced users" mode, the JavaScript snippet is missing from the Edit Head section, or your browser is serving a cached version of the page. Each cause needs a different fix, so check them in order.

This applies to Jimdo sites that need the SeaText AI script installed. If your Jimdo plan or builder doesn't support custom code, the integration cannot work.

Quick answers

Does SeaText AI work on all Jimdo plans?

No. SeaText AI requires Jimdo's "For advanced users" mode, which supports custom code injection. Standard Jimdo sites without that mode won't accept the integration script.

Where do I paste the SeaText AI code in Jimdo?

Go to your Jimdo admin area, click Menu, then Settings, then Edit Head. Paste the JavaScript code from your SeaText AI account into the window that opens, then click Save.

Why can't I find Edit Head in Jimdo?

If Edit Head doesn't appear in your Jimdo settings, your site is using the standard builder. Switch to "For advanced users" mode first, then revisit the Settings menu.

Key facts at a glance

Is your Jimdo site in the wrong mode?

SeaText AI's integration only works on sites built with "For advanced users" mode. The Jimdo integration guide states this requirement clearly. If your site uses the standard Jimdo builder, the script has nowhere to live.

Check your Jimdo project settings first. Look for the builder mode selection. If you're not in advanced mode, switch before doing anything else. Without this step, every other fix will fail.

Switching modes may change how your site behaves, so review the settings carefully. Some Jimdo plans restrict advanced mode. If yours does, contact Jimdo to upgrade.

Is the script missing from Edit Head?

The SeaText AI JavaScript needs to sit in the Edit Head section. That's the only place Jimdo lets you inject custom code. If the script is pasted elsewhere, or not saved, the connection fails silently.

Open Menu → Settings → Edit Head and confirm the code is there. The integration steps say to paste the code and click "Save." A missing save step is a common oversight.

Also check that you pasted the full script. Truncated code breaks the connection. Copy the entire snippet from your SeaText account and replace any partial paste.

Is your copied code outdated or wrong?

Copy the JavaScript directly from your SeaText AI account. Old snippets from emails or screenshots may have expired or been updated. Replace the current code with a fresh copy, save, and test again.

Each SeaText account generates a unique script. Using another account's code causes a connection failure. Verify you're logged into the right account when copying.

If you recently changed passwords or regenerated API keys, the old script stops working. Refresh the code from the dashboard and update Edit Head.

Is browser cache hiding the change?

After you add the script, your browser may show a cached version of the site. Hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac. Or open the site in a private window.

If the script loads in a private window, the connection is fine. The cache was the problem. Clear your browser cache or wait for it to expire naturally.

Mobile browsers cache aggressively too. Test from a phone or a different device to rule out local caching.

Are extensions or firewalls blocking the script?

Ad blockers and privacy extensions can stop the SeaText AI script from loading. Test in a browser with all extensions disabled. Corporate firewalls may also block external scripts.

Check your network rules before blaming the integration. Some office networks restrict third-party domains. Try from a home connection or mobile hotspot.

If the script loads everywhere except one network, that network is the culprit. Whitelist the SeaText domain if you control the firewall.

What happens when the connection fails?

When the script can't connect, SeaText AI can't read your pages or run its optimization agents. You won't see translations, copy variants, or conversion data. The site still works normally, but the AI features stay inactive.

This means your visitors see the original content. No harm is done, but you miss the conversion improvements SeaText offers. Fixing the connection restores those features.

Monitor your SeaText dashboard for a connection status indicator. A red or offline state confirms the failure. A green state means the script is talking to the servers.

How do you verify the fix worked?

After making changes, load your site and view the page source. Search for "seatext" or the script ID. If it appears, the script is installed. Then check your SeaText dashboard for a live connection status.

Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the Network tab. Look for requests to SeaText servers. Successful responses mean the connection is working.

Give the dashboard a minute to update. Connection status refreshes periodically. If it stays offline after several minutes, repeat the diagnostic steps.

Is the problem on SeaText's side?

Rarely, the issue is server-side. If your script is correct and the mode is right, but the dashboard still shows no connection, wait a few minutes and retry. Contact SeaText support if the problem persists beyond an hour.

Server outages are uncommon but possible. Check SeaText's status page or social media for announcements. Third-party monitoring sites can also help.

Don't reinstall the script repeatedly during an outage. It won't help and may introduce errors. Wait for the service to recover.
