Advanced Network Settings allow users with Manage Access to determine when scans capture website content, ensuring more accurate results on sites with dynamic or delayed elements.
Accessing Advanced Network Settings
- Log in to EqualGround as a user with Manage Access.
- From the left-side menu, select Websites.
- Click on the website you'd like to configure advanced network settings for.
- Select the Configuration tab.
- Scroll down to the Advanced Network Settings pane. From here, you can make the following adjustments for your website:
- Wait for Network Calls: This setting determines whether the scanner should wait for all network requests (e.g. loading images, scripts, or APIs) to complete before retrieving the page's HTML. It is recommended to turn this setting on if your website relies heavily on JavaScript or APIs to render dynamic content.
- Network Call Duration (Seconds): This setting determines the maximum time limit the scanner will wait for network calls to complete. For large websites, having a longer wait time can slow down scans.
- Delay HTML Download (Seconds): This setting adds a delay before the scanner retrieves the HTML. It allows time for animations, transitions, or lazy-loaded elements to finish rendering. It is recommended to use this setting if your website has animations or delays before content is fully visible, such as having loading spinners.
