Create Your First Scan

Use New Scan when you want LIME to audit a sitemap, sitemap index, or one specific page. A scan creates one durable scan record. Every URL, issue, screenshot, score, and export remains attached to that scan ID.

Before you start

1. Make sure the target URL is public or reachable from the server running Shopkeeper.
2. Use a sitemap URL when you want broad site coverage.
3. Use a page URL when you want to verify one page or reproduce one issue quickly.
4. Add a label or tag when you need to identify the environment, project, or release later.

Create the scan

1. Open Scans from the dashboard sidebar.
2. Select New Scan.
3. Paste the sitemap URL or page URL.
4. Choose the scan mode that matches the target.
5. Submit the form.
6. Stay on the scan detail page if you want to watch progress, or return to the dashboard later.

What LIME does next

1. Shopkeeper creates the scan row and records the submitted target.
2. Profiler expands and validates eligible URLs for sitemap scans.
3. Browser workers visit eligible pages and run axe-core.
4. Screenshots, selectors, HTML snippets, failed checks, and needs-review checks are persisted.
5. Sweetner groups raw audit output into issue groups and occurrence rows.
6. Score and report data become available as pages complete.

If the target redirects

LIME verifies collected URLs against the entered host before scanning. Off-host URLs are filtered out so a redirect or external link does not silently turn one scan into a scan of another domain.
