Site Scanner

The Site Scanner helps you discover third-party resources and add block patterns quickly.

How it works

1. Open System - NexusConsent plugin settings.
2. Go to the Patterns tab.
3. Enter a path (or leave blank for homepage) and click Scan site.
4. Review detected external scripts/styles.
5. Select rows and click Add selected.

What gets detected

• External <script src="..."> resources
• External <link href="..."> resources
• URLs are converted to reusable fragments (host + first path segment)
• Same-host resources are skipped

Category suggestions

When a detected resource matches a known service preset, NexusConsent pre-suggests a category. You can change the category before adding it.

Security and limits

• Scanner is available only to Super Admin users.
• Only your own site is scanned (external hosts are rejected).
• The scanner fetches server-rendered HTML, not browser-rendered JavaScript output.
• Pages behind login/session walls may not return full content to the scanner.

Endpoint reference

Scanner calls:

/administrator/index.php?option=com_ajax&plugin=nexusconsent&task=scan&format=raw&{token}=1

Optional url parameter can be provided with a site-relative path.
