Frequently asked questions

How long does a scan take? #
Most sites complete in under 30 seconds. Sites behind a slow origin or large pages may take up to two minutes.
Why does some site fail to audit? #
Some sites use WAFs (Cloudflare, Akamai, Amazon, Sucuri) that block automated requests. We tell you which one when this happens.
Do you store the URLs I scan? #
Yes — scans are saved so you can come back to them. We do not crawl the URL beyond the single page you submit.
