Does Website Protection Site Scanner use bandwidth?
Website Protection Site Scanner's daily scans are extremely thorough, so you might see an increase in the log entries and bandwidth used for your website.
Many factors determine how much bandwidth is used during a scan, such as the size of your website, how many pages you have on your site, the type of content, and the number of vulnerabilities being scanned for.
The list of vulnerabilities Site Scanner scans for is regularly updated, and any changes you make to your website can also change the amount of bandwidth used during a scan. Monitor your bandwidth on a daily basis to avoid overages from your Web hosting provider.
If your website reporting software allows, you can filter out Site Scanner results using the IP addresses and server names. See From which IP addresses does Website Protection Site Scanner scan? for more information.
