Onboarding Step 2: Connect Website

Reached if you picked Website URL in step 1.

Flow

1. Enter a domain — example.com works; https:// is added for you.
2. Click Continue.

The screen has a single URL field; there are no crawl-depth or competitor inputs.

What happens server-side

When you click Continue, the wizard routes to Confirm details, which kicks off the website analysis pipeline. The backend:

• Does a quick reachability HEAD request (fails fast if the site is unreachable or geo-blocked from our crawler).
• Runs a server-side site scrape + branding extraction.
• Detects any linked iOS / Android apps from the site.
• Runs App Store analysis on any detected app.

Privacy

Layers fetches the site server-side. JavaScript execution is limited to what the crawler needs.
