Hello! Please, is there any way to avoid following External links?
So crawler would spend time only on what matters (my website).

Another minor question: Does crawler load all script on current page or just HTML content?

Thanks!

QuoteHello! Please, is there any way to avoid following External links?

Default is to ignore external links.  However, certain scan presets enable checking and analyzing external links. The option hat controls this is found here:
Scan website | Data collection | Verify external links exist (and analyze if applicable)
Scan website | Data collection | Store found external URLs

Default HTML, but can also to some degree do AJAX, Javascript, CSS and more, but it depends on settings.

Settings that affect this are:
Javascript: "Scan website | Crawler options | Try search inside Javascript"
CSS: "Scan website | Crawler options | Try search inside CSS"
PDF: "Scan website | Crawler options | Try search inside PDF"
Flash: "Scan website | Crawler options | Try search inside Flash"
AJAX: "Scan website | Crawler engine | default path type and handler"  where you can choose "HTTP using WinInet/IE" (IE is used to load the page and execute any "onload" Javascript/AJAX that alters the content.)

Thank you very much!
