Adding a New Domain

Once you are ready to start adding and scanning domains, start by clicking on the Add Domain button on the right of your screen.

Enter the URL of the domain you want to add before checking the Advanced Settings box for additional options.

Adding a New Domain

Select a Domain Crawling Method

There are three different ways you can enter the URLs associated with the domain you would like to scan:

  1. Add a link to your sitemap
  2. Enter the URLs manually
  3. Auto-index all URLs associated with your site

crawling method

If you have opted to auto-index a domain, our software will first collect all of the URLs associated with that domain. Once complete, you will have the option to select which URLs you want to include in the scan.

If you have entered the URLs manually or uploaded a sitemap, the software will automatically start scanning all of the URLs.

Conduct Scanning From

We will conduct your scan from a specific IP, which you will see in the final field. If for any reason your site is setup to block crawlers, this is the IP you would need to whitelist before adding your domain.

Authentication

If any of your pages are located behind a login, you will need to indicate that authentication is required.

You will now have the option to choose between:

  • Basic Authentication. Select this option if any URLs associated with your domain require a Username and Password.
  • Form Authentication. Select this option if any URLs associated with your domain require users to complete a more detailed form.

With form authentication, you will have the option to provide more details, including:

  • Login URL
  • Username and Password
  • Login Form Selector, which indicates a button or URL needs to be clicked to trigger the login form
  • Username and Password Field Selectors, which helps our tool identify the fields where the username and password need to be inserted
  • Submit Button Selector, which helps our tool identify which button should be clicked to submit the login request

You can now click on Add Domain.

Selecting and Adding Pages

We will now start collecting the URLs associated with your domain. Once complete, you will see the option to Select and Scan Pages.

If for any reason there are URLs missing from the list of pages you want to scan, you will have the option to add additional pages. You can do this by clicking on the Add Pages button.

You will now have the option to add your missing page URLs manually or using a sitemap. Click on Add Pages to add the missing URLs to the final list.

If you are happy with the final list of URLs, you can click on Scan Pages and our tool will start checking for accessibility issues, which can take several minutes.

Bulk Select and Unselect

If while reviewing your list of URLs, you don’t want to have to go through every page one-by-one to decide whether they should or shouldn’t be included, you can use the Bulk Selection feature.

You can now enter the subdirectories you either want to include or exclude.

Subdirectories are the parts of your website pages URL. In the following examples, subdirectories are ”blog” and ”resources”:

  • yourwebsite.com/blog/
  • yourwebsite.com/resources/

Each subdirectory can contain any amount of pages according to your website structure:

  • yourwebsite.com/blog/blog-post-1
  • yourwebsite.com/blog/blog-post-2
