Background Scanner

OIntel uses WP-Cron to run health scans automatically.

Frequency Options

• Hourly
• Daily (default)
• Weekly

What the Scanner Does

1. Runs all health checks (OIntel_Checks::run_all())
2. Calculates health score (OIntel_Health::calculate())
3. Stores result in wp_ointel_scan_log
4. Caches last scan result in a transient (6-hour TTL)
5. Updates the admin bar critical count transient
6. Evaluates and fires configured alerts

Lightweight Mode

Enable Lightweight Mode in Settings to skip:

• TTFB measurement (avoids internal HTTP request)
• WPVulnDB vulnerability API call

Recommended for resource-constrained hosting environments.

Manual Trigger

Dashboard → Run Scan button triggers OIntel_Scanner::run_manual() via AJAX.
