Limiting scans by depth

Crawling can be left to try and scan as much of a website as it can access, or you can be limit it to only crawl to a certain depth.

Note

Scan depth checks only apply to the main domain being crawled

Sitemap Creator determines the depth of a URL by looking at the number of path components it is made up of, excluding the document name if possible.

URL	Depth
`http://www.example.com/`	0
`http://www.example.com/index.html`	0
`http://www.example.com/products/`	1
`http://www.example.com/products/index.html`	1
`http://www.example.com/products/webcopy`	2

Important

Scan depth is taken from base domain, not the starting address
