Introduction¶

This document provides instructions on how to do a quick scan and how the data that the quick scan provides is itemized.

With Quick Scan, Acquia Optimize performs a light scan of your web page and provides near-instant feedback. This feature is ideal for checking compliance while you prepare a web page for publication or if you simply need a quick analysis of a page that is already published.

FAQ¶

Where can I use Quick scan?¶

You can scan any page that you are able to view in your browser, including draft, preview, and staging pages.

The quick scan uses the HTML code that is captured by the web browser extension, and forwards that data to the API to do the scan.

Where is the Quick scan data stored?¶

The data from the quick scan is not synchronized with the database. The scan results are not saved.
