The single-page scan uses the site URL as the base. Acquia Web Governance provides the URL to the crawler. The single-page scan includes, among other things, broken link analysis and an update of the page data inside the application if the page has been crawled before. This causes the Single Page scan to often take over an hour to complete.

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.
