# Add a website node

Add a website for agentless scanning. Guardian supports Website nodes for Agentless scanning.

Applies to: `Guardian Classic`

## Add a website node

Adding a Website node to your Guardian instance lets you monitor and track the configuration of web pages, ensuring compliance and detecting vulnerabilities across your web infrastructure.

To add a Website node for Agentless scanning, complete the following steps:

1. In the Guardian web application, navigate to the **Add Nodes** tab (**Inventory** > **Add Nodes**). The **Add Nodes** page is displayed.

2. Select 'Website' from the list of node types and click the **Go Agentless** button to proceed. The **Connect Agentlessly to [Node Type]** page is displayed.

3. Here, complete the following options:

    ![Connect agentlessly website](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/assets/images/guardian/inventory/add-nodes/single-nodes/connect-agentlessly-website.png)

    **Node Name** field
    :   The name of the node. The value you enter here will be used as the display name in Guardian.

**Short description** field
:   A brief summary to identify the website you're adding.

**URL** field
:   The full URL of the website you want to monitor.

**SSL Verify Certificate** checkbox
:   Option to enable SSL certificate verification for the website. If selected, Guardian checks if the website’s SSL certificate is valid, adding an extra layer of security by confirming a trusted connection.

4. Once you've completed the above options click **Scan Node** to add the Website node to your Guardian instance.

Now, Guardian performs an initial scan of the node. You can wait on this page for the scan to finish, at which point you will see a **View Scan** button. To view the results of this initial scan, click **View Scan**. However, you can also navigate elsewhere while Guardian performs its initial scan of the node. You can then view the status of the scan on the [**Job History**](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/control/job-history/job-history/index.md) page (**Inventory** > **Job History**).
