    I’m using the latest WordPress and latest WordFence. No database errors, wp-admin isn’t blocked, tried upping memory to 300, stil the same error. Stops at a different place every time though. In debug mode, here’s what I’m getting in the top several lines from the activity log:

    [Sep 01 18:36:25:1441132585.795499:4:info] Calling Wordfence API v2.17:https://noc1.wordfence.com//v2.17/?v=4.3&s=http%3A%2F%2Fmooresuites.com&k=22bfce59937dea286b4ac77772799f774366fbfa0f68a3129df425be52178ac8103b5f9f92542713736359f1a2297c003fc05d450cca51d14d00b49f96f5f913&action=send_net_404s

    Further down, there are messages like:

    [Sep 01 18:34:14:1441132454.610284:4:info] Got max_execution_time value from ini: 300

    and
    [Sep 01 18:33:52:1441132432.255704:4:info] getMaxExecutionTime() returning half ini value: 15
    [Sep 01 18:33:52:1441132432.255192:4:info] Got max_execution_time value from ini: 30

    Not sure if those mean anything.

    Thanks for any help.

    Tried scanning again late at night when there’s less traffic and it completed properly. Is it the max_execution_time php parameter that I should be increasing to make it work during peak hours?

    Yes, it looks like you might have already increased max_execution_time in php.ini, from the two different log messages above — 300 might be a bit long, and might run into Apache’s own limit. You might try setting max_execution_time in php.ini to 60, and then setting the Wordfence option “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” to only 15 — that will give much more leeway than the default settings, if the server is under very heavy load.

    Is the server your own? Sometimes on shared hosting or a managed VPS, the host may limit time or memory in other ways.

    Also, have you tried using Wordfence’s Falcon cache? If your site doesn’t have a lot of dynamic content, serving cached pages can lighten the load significantly, so the server isn’t so busy. (On shared hosting, it might not help as much, if other people’s sites are causing the high load.)

    We also have a reference page on scans that won’t finish here, but I think you have already tried these steps — in case other people find this post with a similar problem in the future, I am including a link here:
