The Digital Certainty Index® (DCI®) is a Siteimprove patented measure of the quality and potential impact of a website's digital presence. The score is benchmarked across the education sector in North America.
Siteimprove uses the DCI Score as a measure of the effectiveness of a website, while its sub-scores indicate how well it lives up to quality standards, how discoverable it is for search engines, and if it meets accessibility standards.
How Siteimprove Works
Siteimprove scans the entire New Mexico State University website every 15 days looking for spelling errors, broken links, SEO performance and accessibility issues. Your site’s pages are grouped together and a report is generated. Siteimprove reports will highlight broken link, misspelling errors, and accessibility issues in the context of the page.
