Choosing the Right Entities
When setting up scans in Pluro, selecting the right entities is key to maintaining your website’s overall accessibility. Here’s how to prioritize which sections of your site to scan for maximum impact.
1. Start with the Homepage
The homepage is the most critical part of your website. As the entry point for many visitors, it needs to be fully accessible to ensure a positive first impression and smooth navigation. Regularly scanning your homepage helps you address issues quickly, ensuring compliance and a better user experience for all visitors.
2. Focus on Templates
Templates are used across multiple pages on your website. By scanning and fixing a single template, you effectively improve accessibility for all pages that use that template. Prioritize key templates such as those for product pages, blog posts, or landing pages, as fixing issues here will have a wide-reaching impact.
3. Balance Between Frequently Updated and Static Pages
While templates and homepages should be scanned regularly, it’s also important to scan other parts of your website:
- Frequently Updated Pages: Pages that receive regular content updates (like blogs, news sections, or product listings) should be scanned frequently to catch new issues.
- Static Pages: These are pages that don’t change often (like About Us or Contact pages). Though they don’t require as frequent scans, they should still be checked periodically to ensure ongoing accessibility.
Best Practices for Choosing Entities
- Prioritize High-Traffic Areas: Scan pages that see the most user interaction, like homepages, login pages, and forms.
- Target Problem Areas: If you’ve identified accessibility issues in one section, scan similar pages to ensure the issue doesn’t exist elsewhere.
- Monitor Key Templates: Ensure that important templates are free from accessibility errors, as this impacts multiple pages across your site.
By focusing on the right entities, you can efficiently monitor and maintain your website’s accessibility without scanning every page individually.
