Site Analysis Reports
The standard reports generated by the eValid Site Analysis feature
include the reports described below.
You can set up a site analysis scan by choosing values and
settings with the
Site Analysis Preferences.
You can determine the parameters for reports you generate
with the built-in
Site Analysis Filters.

It has metrics that indicate the amount of search work completed and the amount remaining.
This report is shown even when the
eValid Site Analysis engine
is running in the background.

Each of these reports can be generated to show or not show URLs

scan so if you select it it may take your machine
some time to generate
the file.

This report shows complete details of every page visited,
in the order of visitation, in a convenient table format.
There is a
complete explanation available.
Example Report.

Result Variations
Slightly different methods are used for the three Site Analysis modes,
and the results generated may differ slightly depending on how the analyzed WebSite is constructed.
Here is a brief description of the differences:
- Browser Mode.
This mode uses the pages as finally delivered and rendered by the eValid browser,
so these pages have already been pre-processed by eValid.
This is the always the most accurate mode.
- HTTP Normal Mode.
The pages are analyzed without having been rendered, and each file is analyzed separately.
There can be links and URLs mentioned in this "raw data" that won't show up in the final rendered pages.
Reports in this mode always include everything that is shown in the
Browser Mode, but possibly will show more links.
- Quick Mode.
Same as in the HTTP Normal Mode,
except that Reports in this mode always include everything that is shown in the Browser Mode,
and possibly will show more links.
However, in Quick Mode the Site Analysis process only parses pages if it has to.
For example, in a depth-limited search the Site Analysis process only checks the
availability of pages that exceed the specified depth, and does not parse them.
