 * Hi Wordfence
    Since change to winter time few days ago my scan doesn’t finish
   at all. I Have to every time cancel scan manually. Ive tried disable and enable
   Wordfence but with no luck. So i can’t see if is there any problem. Can you explain
   what is going on?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Stan,
 * Just so I’m clear, everything was working normally until the time change? Will
   you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing? What kind of host are you on(
   shared vs dedicated) and what type of server?
 * Thanks,
    Brian

 * Hi Brian
 * Ive had just check site and today looks that scan finished without problems at
   first time since time change. I’ll see how will WF perform in following days.
   If anything changes i will send all data you need.

 * Stan,
 * Thanks for reporting back. Here are some steps to try that toggle how often the
   scans start and stop.

 * You could also try disabling Live Traffic and then see how a scan runs. Doing
   so will reduce the processing power required by your server.
 * Finally, make sure your site has enough memory. We recommend 128MB for best results.
 * Let us know if this helps or not.
 * Thanks!
