Once a site is in reasonable shape, the risk changes. It is no longer the problems you know about, it is the ones that get introduced next month by a new template or a well meaning content update. Scheduled scans are how you catch those.
Scheduling is available on every paid plan. It is not available on Free.
Setting one up
- Open the website and find the Schedule option, next to Rescan.
- Choose whether it runs once at a future date or repeats.
- Set the date, the time and how often.
- Save. The scheduled run appears on your dashboard.
Show the Schedule dialog with the frequency options (once, weekly, monthly), date picker, and time field.
Times run in your workspace timezone
A scan set for 3am runs at 3am in the workspace timezone, not in the timezone of whoever created it. Check Workspace settings if your team is spread across countries.
Which pages get scanned
A schedule keeps the set of pages it was created with, which is what makes its results comparable over time. You can remove pages from a schedule later, but you cannot add new ones to an existing schedule. If you want a wider set, create a new schedule.
This is deliberate. A schedule whose page list quietly grew would produce a score drop that looks like a regression and is really just a bigger sample.
How often
- Weekly for a site that changes constantly, or one under active development.
- Monthly for most sites. Frequent enough to catch a bad release, infrequent enough that nobody starts ignoring the results.
- Quarterly for a stable site you mainly need evidence for.
Seeing what is coming
Your dashboard shows upcoming scheduled scans across the sites you can see. You can review and remove schedules from the website's own page.
Show the Upcoming Scans widget on the dashboard listing the next scheduled runs with site names, dates and times.
