Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you scan.

Everything prospects, builders and clients usually ask before running PageLens: what gets scanned, what it costs, what the report includes, and how private scan data is handled.

Scanning

How crawls, viewports, JavaScript rendering and logged-in routes work.

How does PageLens AI scan my website?

PageLens uses real browser automation to visit your site, capture optimised screenshots, inspect rendered HTML, and read HTTP headers. The report combines deterministic checks with AI review so you get practical findings across UX, SEO, accessibility, performance, content, security, tracking, trust and AI Search readiness.

How long does a scan take?

Most scans complete in 5-15 minutes. Larger sites and scans that include both desktop and mobile take longer, but you can leave the tab and PageLens will email you when the report is ready.

Can PageLens scan desktop and mobile?

Yes. Choose Desktop, Mobile or Both when starting a scan. Both viewports cost twice the single-viewport tier because every URL is rendered twice with separate browser contexts, screenshots and analysis.

Can PageLens scan pages behind a login?

Yes. Authenticated scans use verified-domain auth profiles, scoped test credentials, allowed route rules and denied route rules. You validate the login flow before scanning, and authenticated artifacts stay private by default.

Do you handle JavaScript-rendered apps?

Yes. PageLens runs pages in headless Chrome, so Next.js, React, Vue, Webflow, Framer, Shopify themes and other JavaScript-rendered sites can be reviewed after rendering.

What if my scan fails?

You can retry failed scans. If PageLens genuinely cannot access the site and the scan cannot complete, contact support and we will help or refund the scan.

Pricing

One-off scans, page limits, Launch Pack and optional monitoring.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Launch Scan, Launch Pack and Full Site Scan are one-off purchases. Weekly monitoring is optional for verified domains when you want PageLens to rescan regularly and flag regressions.

Is the $1 Launch Scan real?

Yes. The $1 Launch Scan audits up to 3 pages and is designed for landing pages, homepages and small launches. It is not a trial that turns into a subscription.

What does a page limit mean?

Page limits are caps, not quotas. PageLens starts from the URL you provide and follows internal links until it runs out of reachable pages or hits the tier limit. If your site is smaller than the cap, you still receive the full report for the tier you selected.

Reports

What is included, how views work and how teams use the output.

What is included in a PageLens report?

A report includes an executive summary, health score, prioritized findings, impact and effort labels, page screenshots, persona reviews, security headers, email security checks, cookie and privacy signals, AI Answer Engine readiness checks, a glossary and a downloadable PDF.

How do Story, Quick Wins and All Findings work?

Story turns the most important issues into a stakeholder-friendly narrative. Quick Wins maps impact against effort so you can plan fixes quickly. All Findings gives engineers the filterable inventory with rule IDs, evidence and suggested fixes.

Do you estimate effort for each fix?

Yes. Findings include effort labels such as Quick, Moderate or Involved. That lets you sort by impact and effort instead of treating every issue as equally urgent.

Can I share my report with my team?

Yes. Paid reports include a private share link, and you can download a PDF for stakeholders, clients or your build team.

Can I tailor the report to a specific use case?

Yes. Choose a lens such as Pre-launch, Conversion, Investor, Brand polish or AI Search readiness. The report voice, finding priority and persona ordering adapt to that use case.

Security

Data handling, authenticated scans, private access and retention.

Is my website data secure?

Public scans crawl public pages only. Authenticated scans require verified-domain profiles and scoped test credentials. Screenshots and HTML are attached to the scan and served through private report access, not exposed as public files.

How long do you keep screenshots?

Screenshots are retained for a limited period after scans complete, then automatically deleted from blob storage. Findings, summaries, scores and metadata remain available so reports continue to render even after image cleanup.
