A Full scan covers every one of Silktide’s checks. It gives results identical to testing a page in the Inspector, and the scoring will match what you have inside a full report.

Full scans are relatively slow (about 30 seconds per page), and are usually excessive for day-to-day checks, but are recommended if you’re making substantial changes to the code of a template.

For changes to content, we recommend a Quick scan.

Full scans can only be run on pages on the public Internet.

This means that if you gave the web address of the page you were testing to a complete stranger, they would be able to view it on the public Internet. For example, if the page requires a login or is hosted on a private network, then you can’t run a full scan on it.

In contrast, Quick scans can test private pages, including pages before they are published.
