Please try a different URL. ## Pay attention to URL's, as they might trick you! ### “Target URL is not accessible. Please try a different URL.” scan result can occur for several reasons: ![](https://support.pentest-tools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8abccd56-3bd7-47f7-8cbd-31c7f5678374.png?width=688&height=381&name=8abccd56-3bd7-47f7-8cbd-31c7f5678374.png) ### **1. URL is incorrect** Sometimes this error is displayed because of **incorrectly typed website addresses**, malfunctioning links or you could have been trying to access a part of the site reserved for authorized users only. Check the spelling of the address carefully (ex. http/https, add www.) and look for characters that are not typically present in addresses. ### **2. The website response is too slow** **The connection to the website takes too long** to respond to our scanners. Check first the load time on the site from the UK. If a website is unresponsive for more than 4 seconds, the scanner will stop. You can test the website response time with a Website Speed Test tool, such as [https://tools.pingdom.com/](https://tools.pingdom.com/). In this case, you’ll need to fix the website response time. ### **3. Error is caused by firewall applications** When our servers make a request to a system, the system then files that request to the server; if your URL is not accessible, it might be caused by certain firewall applications. You can try performing the scan with the firewall off or whitelist the IPs of our scanners [here](https://support.pentest-tools.com/what-are-the-source-ip-addresses-of-the-scans-test). - [Getting started](https://support.pentest-tools.com/getting-started#main-content) - [Tips & Tricks](https://support.pentest-tools.com/getting-started#tips-tricks) - [First Steps](https://support.pentest-tools.com/getting-started#first-steps) - [Tools and Scans](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#main-content) - [Network Infrastructure Testing](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#network-infrastructure-testing) - [Authenticated Scanning](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#authenticated-scanning) - [Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#frequently-asked-questions-faq) - [Offensive Tools](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#offensive-tools) - [Web Application Testing](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#web-application-testing) - [Reconnaissance](https://support.pentest-tools.com/tools-and-scans#reconnaissance) - [Account and Billing](https://support.pentest-tools.com/account-and-billing#main-content) - [Billing and Payment](https://support.pentest-tools.com/account-and-billing#billing-and-payment) - [Account Management](https://support.pentest-tools.com/account-and-billing#account-management) - [Assets, Targets & Workspaces](https://support.pentest-tools.com/assets-targets-workspaces#main-content) - [Workspaces](https://support.pentest-tools.com/assets-targets-workspaces#workspaces) - [Assets & Targets](https://support.pentest-tools.com/assets-targets-workspaces#assets-targets) - [Reporting and Vulnerability Management](https://support.pentest-tools.com/reporting-and-vulnerability-management#main-content) - [Notifications](https://support.pentest-tools.com/reporting-and-vulnerability-management#notifications) - [Attack Surface](https://support.pentest-tools.com/reporting-and-vulnerability-management#attack-surface) - [Reporting](https://support.pentest-tools.com/reporting-and-vulnerability-management#reporting) - [Findings](https://support.pentest-tools.com/reporting-and-vulnerability-management#findings) - [VPN Profiles](https://support.pentest-tools.com/vpn-profiles) - [Integrations](https://support.pentest-tools.com/integrations) - [Automation](https://support.pentest-tools.com/automation#main-content) - [Scheduler](https://support.pentest-tools.com/automation#scheduler) - [Scan Groups](https://support.pentest-tools.com/automation#scan-groups) - [Pentest Robots](https://support.pentest-tools.com/automation#pentest-robots) - [Change Log](https://support.pentest-tools.com/change-log) - [Data Security](https://support.pentest-tools.com/data-security) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.pentest-tools.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%20negru.png?width=109&height=40&name=Logo%20negru.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://Pentest-Tools.com) [Go to Pentest-Tools.com ](https://pentest-tools.com/) Copyright © 2026 PentestTools S.A.
