CheckView
Get Started

Adding a Website to CheckView

  • From your main CheckView dashboard, click Add Website to begin connecting your site.
  • After entering your URL, select whether your site is a WordPress site or a non-WordPress site.
    • If it’s a WordPress site: you’ll connect using the free CheckView plugin.
    • If it’s a non-WordPress site: CheckView will take you straight to the test step editor, where you can manually build test flows that work across many platforms, including SaaS apps, landing pages, and other CMSs.

Non WordPress automated testing option CheckView

  • Enter your site’s full URL. Type in the complete public frontend URL of your website, including https://.
  • For WordPress sites:
    • If you’ve already installed and activated the free CheckView plugin, you should see a message saying “Website Connected Successfully.”

Website connected successfully CheckView

  • If you haven’t installed it yet, click Open Plugin Page. This will open your WordPress admin’s “Add Plugins” screen.
    • Log in to your WordPress admin (if prompted), then click Install Now followed by Activate.
    • Once the plugin is active, return to CheckView and click Check Plugin Installation.
    • You should now see “Website Connected Successfully.”

WordPress plugin check CheckView

  • For non-WordPress sites:
    • You’ll be taken directly to the Test Step Editor, where you can begin creating and customizing your automated test flow.
    • These flows work with most websites and SaaS platform, no plugin required.
  • If CheckView can’t connect: an error panel explains what went wrong. If a firewall or bot protection is likely blocking CheckView, it says so and names the service when it recognizes it, with a How to Resolve link and an IP Whitelisting link to CheckView’s IP addresses. See Cannot Connect Website to CheckView.
  • Added a WordPress site as non-WordPress by mistake? An admin can open the website’s settings and, under Website Details, click Convert to WordPress in the Website Type card. Install and activate the CheckView plugin first. Existing test flows are kept. Converting is one way: a WordPress site can’t be switched back to non-WordPress.
  • You’re all set! Your site is now connected to CheckView. You can start creating automated tests to ensure your forms, checkouts, and user flows are always working as expected.

Plugin version and compatibility

The CheckView helper plugin is compatible with WordPress 7.0 and PHP 7.4 or newer, and works with WooCommerce and the major form plugins. We recommend keeping the plugin updated so your tests stay accurate. See Installing and Updating the CheckView Helper Plugin.
