On-page Anchor Link Position
Several of our staff are noticing [an on-page] anchor more often than not jumps to the bottom of the page, even on different computer and smartphone browsers. The id is set up in the Section element id.
This is likely related to other JavaScript issues we’ve encountered. When the anchor link is clicked, if there’s a JavaScript error or if certain components haven’t loaded yet, it can throw off the scroll position. Framework Version 6 will remove the require.js module loader. Once that’s complete, these issues should be resolved.
WebAudit Site Scores After Single Page Scans
Will making corrections and rescanning individual pages in WebAudit change my overall site score, or can I only do that by scanning the overall site?
It should change your overall site score by re-scanning a single page. Every time the most recent scan gets the GPA, it will recalculate it based on the page scores.
503 Error
Site is not loading.
This was due to a coordinated attack from an overseas Google Data Center. Good reminder that if your site is not loading, please try it in two browsers and / or go to https://www.unl.edu/ and confirm that UNL CMS is down, then post in Slack about the issue.
