FAQ
-
Is this safe to use on a live site?
-
Yes, the scanner uses loopback requests internally and doesn’t affect what visitors see. It temporarily disables plugins only during its own test requests.
-
How long does a scan take?
-
The scan time depends on the number of active plugins and your site’s response time. Each plugin is tested individually plus one baseline request, each with an 8-second timeout.
-
Will this disable my plugins permanently?
-
No. The plugin temporarily disables plugins only during its own test requests using a must-use plugin. The temporary file is automatically cleaned up after the scan completes or is cancelled.
-
Can I cancel a scan in progress?
-
Yes, click the “Cancel” button to stop the scan. The temporary files will be cleaned up automatically.
