Admin ajax calls

Hi@djwilko12, thank you for reaching out.

The AJAX watcher is only for admins, to check for false positives during requests, so disabling it doesn’t remove any protection.

This can be turned off by unchecking the checkbox Front-end Website under Monitor background requests from an administrator’s web browser for false positives at the bottom of the Wordfence > Firewall > All Firewall Options page.

You can read more about it here: https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/options/#monitor-background-requests 

Let me know whether this makes a difference.

Thanks,

Mark.

@djwilko12, thanks for getting back

Wordfence loads a script for logged-in admins that monitors background requests that get blocked by the firewall, to alert you if something was blocked that might not need to be blocked. The option “Monitor Background Requests for False Positives” allows you to disable this script if you like, by unchecking either or both checkboxes. One is for the front-end of your site and the other for the administration section of your site. Disabling the monitoring script does not affect the firewall’s protection, but may make it harder to notice false positives (blocking actions that are not actually malicious).

Thanks,

Mark.
