FAQ
Does OIntel send data anywhere?
No. Everything lives in your database. The only outbound HTTP requests are: the TTFB check (hits your own home URL), optional Slack webhooks you configure, and the WPVulnDB lookup for plugin vulnerabilities (slug-only, no site identifiers).
How often does it scan automatically?
Daily by default via WP-Cron. Disable or reschedule under Settings -> Cron.
Can I run only specific checks?
Yes. wp ointel scan --checks=security,performance limits the scan. Useful when you only care about one category in CI.
How are vulnerabilities checked?
OIntel queries WPVulnDB by plugin slug and caches results in wp_ointel_vuln_cache for 24 hours. Results are matched against installed plugin versions locally.
Can I white-label the HTML report?
Yes. Pass white_label => true to OIntel_Reports::generate() or toggle it in the Reports tab. Strips OIntel branding so you can hand the file to a client.
Will OIntel slow down my site?
The scan runs on the admin side via cron, not on front-end requests. Front-end performance is not affected.
