Run Site Checker

  • Article

The Site Checker is a self-service diagnostic tool that can be used by administrators to identify common issues in their website. Site Checker helps to identify issues with a website by looking at various configuration parameters and provides suggestions on how to fix them.

When you run Site Checker, the results are displayed in the Diagnostic Results section in a grid format. The results grid has the following columns:

  • Issue: Displays the top-level issue faced by a customer; for example, performance issue.
  • Category: Displays the top-level area where issues can be categorized; for example, provisioning or solution upgrade.
  • Result: Displays the status of the issue; for example, error or warning.

By default, information in the grid is sorted by the Result column in this order: error, warning, and pass.

You can expand an issue to view detailed information and mitigation steps. If the mitigation requires any action, you'll see a button that will perform the action. You can also provide feedback on whether the mitigation was useful.
