The scan time depends on how much content you are scanning and the size of the documents. Larger PDFs with a lot of data, or entire sitemaps with hundreds of pages, will take longer to scan. In general, scans with fewer documents are quick and take less than 10 minutes to complete.
Once complete, the dashboard will display:
