    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with Wordfence which can not automatically scan. The message that appears in yellow in the scans section is: “Scan Failed
    The scan has failed to start. This is often because the site can not make outbound requests”.
    I think it may be due to some plugins that I installed as “WP Hide & Security Enhancer” or “Swift Performance Lite” which maybe through some setting blocks some file that serves Wordfence. Can you help me? Thank you.

  • Hi @midory,

    Can you disable those two plugins and see if the scan starts?

    Also can you take a look at Wordfence -> Tools -> Diagnostics -> Connectivity?
