I manage WordPress sites of 5 different customers which all use the same hosting company Strato (www.strato.de). I had Site Scan enabled for all of these. In the logs of Solid Security I see that they failed mostly in the last weeks due to the rate limit exceeding.

Interestingly, even though it are 5 different customers with independent websites, in the Site Scan logs I can see the same “remote IP” address for all of them. I believe this is due to the fact, that they all use a shared hosting and to the outside of the hosting company they are visible as 1 single IP.

What options to I have to get Site Scans running again and reguarly? Am I right that the risk of accidential rate limits is high for any shared hosting provider? I mean there could even be other companies hosting their websites on a shared hosting without me even knowing it.

Kind regards.

This plugin is amazing, it helped turn a 15 second load on back end page edits into 3-4 seconds on a plugin heavy site running on an overpopulated shared host that I wont name here, but it was honestly awful, one of the worst I’ve ever used and a surprisingly big name. I was brought in to try and optimize a monster on this occasion and it helped me turn it into some form of a workhorse again for my client, with almost no setup, toggled a checkbox or two and clicked save.

This plugin needs more downloads, there are so many sites running on garbage hosting that could use this to make the back end a working environment again.

I will be using this on any site where I do not have redis or memcache available from here on out, cheers to the developer, you are an true WP Wizard.

I have been searching for a plugin like this for quite some time now, and I was very suprised when I found exactly what I’m looking for and it was free. I just hope that it can be used on a bluehost shared hosting. Also I intend to integrate this plugin in a bigger project where I’ll use multiple other plugins and themes so I hope that is not a problem.

Thank you in advance for your help.

1. Therefore, we will create a folder outside of public_html. For example ‘/home1/user7/webp’. You must change this path to yours.

2. Copy binaries here. We can take them from the plugin folder or from here.
We have to get the path ‘/home1/user7/webp/cwebp’

3. Change the file ‘/home1/user7/webp/cwebp’ permision to Chmod 744 (chmod a+rwx,g-wx,o-wx)

4. We have to add this path in the plugin file BinaryDiscovery.php

// Common system paths
    private static $commonSystemPaths = [
        '/usr/bin',
        '/usr/local/bin',
        '/usr/gnu/bin',
        '/usr/syno/bin',
        '/bin',
        '/home1/user7/webp',
    ];

5. All. Now you have a working conversion method cwebp.

A request to the author, if you can add a field where you can specify this path in the settings, so as not to edit the plugin file.

Tested on shared hosting Bluehost and Hostgator with PHP v7.3

Just wondering if there are any security concerns when using one Redis instance with multiple sites? I’m running separate databases for each site but as far as I know, Redis doesn’t have any authentication systems. Doesn’t that mean that all data is accessible from any site?

Cheers

Thanks for this code but unfortunately, my shared hosting service is now forcing all updates for security reasons. So, it seems that Block Plugin Update is now bypassed.

Any known workaround ?

Thanks.
