Dear Wordfence Team
I’m the developer of a Link Checker and Sitemap Generator plugin for WordPress. Both plugins use an external crawler, operated by me, to do their job.
Sadly the crawler often triggers the Wordfence rate limit and thus cannot do its job.
A workaround for my users would be to whitelist my crawler with the “Whitelisted IP addresses that bypass all rules” option. However, this wouldn’t be a good solution from a security point of view.
It might be better to have a separate whitelist just for rate limiting. Is such a whitelist something you might consider implementing in a future version of Wordfence?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Marco
