Web analytics is the collection, reporting, and analysis of data generated by users' visiting and interacting with a website. Web publishers can easily access the Web Analytics Dashboard at any time.

The Web Analytics Dashboard is a tool that uses Google Analytics 4 to track and analyze web traffic and performance on your website. You can see (Page)Views, Engagement Rates, and File Downloads for your website. It provides valuable insights into user engagement, helping you understand how visitors interact with your site. With this information, you can make informed adjustments to your content and improve the overall experience.

DubBot is a web performance and governance platform used to improve website accessibility, content quality, and search engine optimization (SEO). DubBot scans your website and identifies issues that may affect usability, accessibility, content quality, and overall site health. Web publishers can use DubBot dashboards to review issues, prioritize fixes, and monitor improvements over time. You will see your overall score in each category. The more issues you fix, the higher the score.

Accessibility

Significant updates were recently made to Title II of the ADA concerning the accessibility of web information and services. These updates require us to conform our web content to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard. This new ruling goes into effect in April 2027 to comply with the newly expanded regulations.

DubBot assists web publishers in identifying and fixing accessibility issues to ensure compliance with the WCAG 2.1 AA standard. It scans for accessibility issues like missing alt text and empty headers.

Quality Assurance (QA)

QA is the process of testing a website to ensure it works correctly and looks good on all devices and browsers. It's a way to catch and fix issues on your website.

DubBot identifies issues like misspellings and broken links, and offers suggestions for corrections. You also have access to view your website inventory to see the total number of web pages, documents, links, and more.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of improving a website so that it ranks higher in search engine results. DubBot's SEO Overview flags technical and content issues that may impact your SEO. Content issues like missing meta descriptions and long meta titles can be fixed by web publishers. For technical issues, please reach out to the IRT Web & Mobile team.

Policies

If there's a word or name that needs to be replaced globally, we can help you configure policies to easily identify all the web pages that have that word or name and replace them.
