# Scheduled Scan Frequencies
Aikido provides default scanning frequencies for various components to ensure security and performance. Here, you'll learn about these scanning defaults and how to change them.

Aikido also runs in real time in the IDE on every save, and on every push or pull request via PR gating. The settings below control the scheduled re-scan that runs in addition.
{% endhint %}
### Scanning Frequencies
* By default, for all paid plans, Aikido does **daily** scans for open-source dependencies, SAST, IaC, secrets, cloud, containers, and Front-End Domains.
* Domains scanned with Hosted Domains and APIs are by default done **twice a week** as this has a higher load on your system.
* In case you quickly want to verify whether a fix was implemented correctly, you can trigger a **manual scan** by clicking 'Start Scan' in the UI.
> Workspaces on a free plan are scanned every 3 days, and users cannot trigger scans manually. Hosted domains are scanned once a week.
### Changing Scanning Frequency
In case you want to change your scanning frequency, you can do this by going to [General Settings](https://app.aikido.dev/settings/account) (admins only) and click **Change Scanning Frequency**.
