Scanning of WP Super Cache taking so long

    Hey. Maybe there should be a filter not to scan the cache of WP Super Cache? I have a picture heavy blog and scans are taking so long when scanning cached sites. The default setting for not scanning images is checked but it seems to be scanning them when they are in the cache…

    Anyway thanks a lot for your plugin – it has resolved many of my sites problems so easily!

    There is actually an option to exclude folders from your scan and it is for this precise reason that I made that option available. Perhaps I should make it a default setting to exclude the cache folders but I fear that would lead to hackers putting all there malicious scripts in your cache folders.

    A better work-around for you is to clear the cache and make sure those folders are empty before you start your scan (this method also ensures that any threats you remove also get purged from the cache).

    Personally I recommend against using caching plugins at all. I might be opening a can of worms here but I wonder if you have ever actually measured the real-time page speed of your sites to compare the load times with and t=without caching enabled?
