Live crawl view - Port Swigger

Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Scanner includes a Live crawl view tab that shows a rendered view of the page the scanner is currently crawling, as it would normally appear in a browser. The documentation, last updated November 11, 2026, says the view helps users understand how the crawler interacts with a target site and troubleshoot unexpected crawl behavior to fine-tune configuration.

Why it matters: Crawl-phase surprises are where scan coverage quietly goes wrong, and a rendered view of what the crawler actually sees is the difference between trusting a scan's results and guessing at them.
