The most common vulnerabilities on websites is Cross-site Scripting (XSS). Not only a small website but a website like Facebook and NASA also have this vulnerability issue. But, if you know how to find Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability on your website, then your website is invulnerable from attacker hands.

Types of Scans
Full Scan w/ HTML
Uses a query scan with 575+ payloads and attempts to find XSS vulnerabilities by passing parameters through the URL. It will also render the HTML and attempt to find manual XSS Vulnerablities (this feature is still in beta).
Full Scan w/o HTML
This scan will run the query scan only.
Fast Scan w/ HTML
This scan is the same as the full w/ HTML but it will only use 7 attack vectors rather than the 575+ vectors.
