 * Wordfence completed a full scan in 31 minutes but the last 3 quick scans all 
   ran in just **one second** which seems to be too fast to have done anything. 
   Is this to be expected?

 * Hi [@rawthey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rawthey/)
    Yes, that’s normal.
   Wordfence has a “quick scan” that is run daily to check for updates for plugins,
   themes, and WordPress core, regardless of the full scan’s schedule.
 * Thanks.
