Live Traffic Showing Access to /?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments

    WordFence registers the URL each visitor uses to access the website into a log and Live traffic shows what that visit was.

    Since my site uses WooCommerce plugin to sell a course, I am seeing a lot of visits to the WooCommerce Ajax refresh file, example;

    https://domain-name.com/?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments

    I know that /?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments is used by the WooCommerce plugin to refresh a page without reloading it, so I am wondering if WordFence Live Traffic,

    • is only showing the WooCommerce Cart as being refreshed, or…
    • actually showing an attempt to visit that refresh file by typing the refresh command into the browser URL box, or…
    • will show both?

    I think I found the answer.

    I used another browser, Opera, using its VPN, so the IP would be different. I visited the home page of my site and stayed on the home page.

    Looking at Live Traffic, I see my Opera browser visit to the home page, then suddenly Live Traffic shows the WooCommerce refresh URL, /?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments, when I did nothing else and the home page does not have any cart products on it.

    This says that WordFence does register a WooCommerce Ajax auto refresh when it occurs, even when someone does not specifically use it in the browser URL box. It also shows that the Ajax refresh call is an active script and automatic on all pages of the site when it does not need to be called (- why would WooCommerce need to do that).
