Plan

Free — first scan included

Connecting by URL is the quickest way to get a report. Wolfix scans everything it can observe from the public internet — legal pages, meta tags, cookie banners, DNS records, and provider configuration. You don't need to grant source-code access, so it's a good first step before deciding whether to connect a repository.

Open the Connect screen

From your dashboard, click Connect a project. Choose the platform your app was built on — Lovable, Bolt, Vibecodeapp, Base44, or Replit. The platform you pick tells Wolfix where to look for platform-specific configuration, so choose the closest match.

Paste your live URL

Enter the full URL of your deployed app, including https://. Use the address your customers actually visit — not a local or staging-only link. If your app lives on a path (for example https://example.com/app), include the path so Wolfix scans the right page.

The URL must be publicly reachable

Wolfix scans from the public internet. A localhost address, a private network link, or a page behind a login wall or VPN cannot be reached and the scan will fail. Open the URL in an incognito window first to confirm it loads with no VPN and no special access.

Pick a subdomain for hosted pages

Choose a subdomain — for example yourproject.wolfix.io. Any documents Wolfix generates (privacy policy, terms, support page) are published here so you can link to them from your app immediately. You can change the subdomain later in project settings.

Start the scan

Click Start scan. Wolfix runs its six checks in parallel and lands you on the report when it finishes — usually within 30–90 seconds. A URL-only scan unlocks every step except the full source-code read, which requires a connected repository.

Add a repo for a deeper scan

A URL-only scan reads what's observable from the browser. Connecting a GitHub repository adds a full code scan — stack, API routes, data types, and dependencies — which makes generated documents far more specific.
