Overview
Running Scans communicates progress as the crawler downloads and evaluates HTML metadata.
When should I use it?
Monitor the live progress bar to track active crawl status.
Before you begin
- You can close the browser tab; the crawl runs on our servers.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Start an audit on your website.
- Observe the progress status bar update in real time.
What happens behind the scenes
WebSockets transmit crawler events from our servers to your browser.
Expected Results
The progress status transitions from *Crawling* to *Parsing*, and finally *Completed*.
Common Mistakes
- Repeatedly refreshing the page, which doesn't speed up the crawl.
Best Practices
- Let the scan run to completion before attempting to apply AI fixes.
