Troubleshooting
Verify your key at the provider's dashboard. Ensure you're using the correct key for the selected provider (cloak.business vs anonym.legal).
Check if the site has a valid sitemap.xml. If not, manually enter page URLs or enable recursive crawling.
Large sites take longer. Try scanning fewer pages. Check your internet connection and ensure the target site is accessible.
Pages larger than 50KB are automatically chunked into multiple API calls. Token cost scales with page size and entity count.
Increase the sensitivity threshold for stricter detection. Use presets instead of custom entity configurations.
