Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about TechDex Search Scrape Guard

No. Edge protection is preferable because it stops abusive traffic before PHP. This plugin is a WordPress-level database backstop.

No. It uses a fixed table with 256 hash slots. Collisions evict older occupants instead of creating unlimited keys or object-cache files.

Raw IP addresses are not retained. The rate limiter stores salted hashes in fixed slots. The bounded operational log stores only masked IPv4 /24 or IPv6 /48 networks, along with the rejection reason, HTTP status, latest search sample, reported browser string, and a coalesced count.

The log retains at most 250 coalesced signatures. It stores a masked network, rejection reason, HTTP status, latest search sample, reported browser or user-agent string, first and last observation times, and an occurrence count. Clearing the log removes those records immediately, and uninstalling the plugin removes its tables and settings.

No. Admin, REST, AJAX, cron, and WP-CLI contexts are excluded.
