    We believe that the number of scanned URLs (394633 URLs in 39 minutes 52 seconds) is incompatible with the size of our website.

    See the result of the last Scan below:

    Could anyone check if scanned URLs (394633 URLs) are correct or is it an error in Wordfense?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @josemario, thanks for getting in contact with us!

    The option that is likely the source of the scan result will be Wordfence > All Option > Scan Options > General Options > Scan posts for known dangerous URLs and suspicious content.

    As for why the URL scan count is so high, it could be due to a caching and/or backup plugin installed on this WordPress site. If so, it’s possible the URLs are being grabbed for files that are either backed up or currently cached as well. The scan will find all URLs, even duplicates. You could try clearing the cache down, or removing backups older than a certain date that you wouldn’t consider restoring and let me know if it helps with the quantity scanned?

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    Hi @wfpeter,

    We initially just deleted the cache and it looks like the problem has been resolved (3657 URLs in 5 minutes 23 seconds.).
