Running a Security Scan

Security scans use your credits. Each scan consumes one credit from your website's allocation.

1

Select a Website

Navigate to the website you want to scan and go to the "Scans" tab in the website details page.

2

Click Run Security Scan

Click the "Run Security Scan" button. If you have available credits, the scan will begin immediately.

3

Wait for Results

Scans take a while depending on the complexity of your website. You'll receive a notification when the scan is complete.

ℹī¸

Note

You can navigate away from the page while a scan is running. The scan continues in the background and results will be available when you return.
