 * Hi all. So I have tried to run a Scan 3 times. All three fail.
 * However, it seems that they fail, because I “Leave” the page to work on other
   stuff, but then Wordfence chokes and “pauses” the scan.
 * Is this the correct behavior with this? Once I start a scan I have to keep that
   page “active” for the duration??
 * Tell me this isn’t so.

 * Hey [@howiedoit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howiedoit/),
 * This isn’t going to be due to you navigating the site while the Scan is active.
 * Are you getting any failure messages? Can you please share it?
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
