Structure Scan
Structure scans discover and map every page on a client’s site via crawl or sitemap. This run builds the page list that all other site scans use, so you always know exactly what’s being audited.
Before you can run accessibility, dead link, performance, technology, or SEO scans across a site, SCAN needs a list of URLs to scan. The Structure scan creates that list. You can run it by crawling the site (following links from the target URL) or by submitting a sitemap. Once the structure run completes, all other site-wide scans use that same page set—so your ADA report, dead link report, and performance report all cover the same pages.
Structure runs are typically free and form the foundation for every site-wide scan. They’re essential for agencies that need to document scope ("we audited these 200 pages") and for keeping multi-scan deliverables consistent.
What This Scan Does & Why It Matters
- Discovers pages by crawling from the target URL or by ingesting a sitemap.
- Produces a stable page list used by all other site scans (ADA, dead links, performance, technology, SEO).
- Typically free per run; no per-page charge.
- Critical for scope documentation and consistent multi-scan reports.
