When a scan is served from cache
Repeating a scan you already ran returns the stored result instantly and costs no credits.
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Why a scan returns instantly
If you have already run the same keyword, area, and grid size recently, Mapifyer returns the stored result instead of scanning again.
- 2
Cached results cost nothing
No credits are charged for a cached result. This is expected behavior, not a billing error.
- 3
Getting a fresh scan
Change the keyword, the area, or the grid size, or wait for the cache window to pass, and the next run collects fresh data and is charged normally.
