Why are fewer URLs scanned than listed in my uploaded sitemap?

This can happen due to how Website Scanner processes sitemap files:

For XML uploads:

    - Website Scanner removes duplicate URLs while fetching the sitemap. Make sure to check the number of unique URLs in your XML.

    - URLs with different query parameters are currently treated as the same URL. If you want to scan URLs with query parameters as separate entries, contact BrowserStack Support to raise a request.

For CSV uploads:

    - Duplicate URLs are also removed, so validate the number of unique URLs in your file.

    - Check the format of your CSV before uploading to avoid processing errors.
