Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Scan is taking too long

Large sites or comprehensive scans can take 10-30 minutes. You can:

Use Quick scan for faster results
Limit scan scope to specific paths
Check your network connection

No vulnerabilities found

This could mean:

The target is well-secured (good news!)
The scan type doesn't match the target
WAF or security measures are blocking scans

API authentication errors

Check that:

Your API token hasn't expired
You're using the correct Authorization header format
Your account has API access enabled
