Websites and Pages define the areas of your web application that Client-Side Protection monitors and protects. A [website](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/managing-websites-and-pages#managing-websites) is a base URL (e.g., `https://www.example.com`) and a [Page](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/managing-websites-and-pages#managing-pages) is one or more paths on that website (e.g., `/checkout`). You must create at least one website and Page before Fastly can [inventory scripts](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/monitoring-your-inventory) or you can [create a policy](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/managing-your-policy).

## Limitations & considerations

When using Client-Side Protection, keep in mind the following:

- Only users assigned the [roles](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/account-info/user-and-account-management/about-user-roles-and-permissions/#user-roles-and-what-they-can-do) of Next-Gen WAF Owner and Superuser or Next-Gen WAF Owner and Engineer can manage websites and Pages.
- The inventory process runs on a non-configurable [sampled basis](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/how-it-works). Your website's traffic volume factors into the frequency at which the inventory process runs. Creating or updating a Page does not trigger the inventory process.
- When inventorying the scripts that are observed for a Page, Client-Side Protection doesn’t capture where the scripts were loaded from.
- A Page can support a maximum of 1,000 paths.

## Managing websites

A website is a base URL (e.g., `https://www.example.com` or `https://www.app.example.com`) that serves as the parent for one or more Pages. Together, a website and its Pages define the full URLs that Client-Side Protection monitors and protects.

5. Click **Continue to add page** to [create a Page](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/managing-websites-and-pages#managing-pages) that is associated with the website you just created.

## Managing Pages

A Page is a path or collection of paths on a website that you want to monitor and protect. A Page can be a single path (e.g., `/checkout`) or multiple paths that represent a similar user experience (e.g., `/checkout` and `/edit-cc`).

   - If you deselected the **Inventory all paths** checkbox, in the **Paths** field, enter a path that should be inventoried. For each additional path that needs inventorying, click the plus <span class="inline-icons"><img src="/img/icons/plus.png" alt="Plus icon" /></span> sign next to the last path you entered.

## What's next

For each Page that you've created, you can [monitor the associated inventory](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/monitoring-your-inventory) that Fastly creates and [create a policy](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/security/client-side-protection/managing-your-policy) that controls the resources that the end user's browser is allowed to load.
