Hello,
I have weekly scheduled WAS scans on Wordpress apps that are now reaching their time limit. None of them are authenticated scans. I noticed this in the scan reports:
Scan on 1st app
Crawling Time 00:47:05 | Assessment Time 23:07:34 | Operating System F5 Networks Big-IP | |
Links Collected 1559 | Links Crawled 923 | Requests Performed 282083 | Avg. Response Time 0.8106 seconds |
Scan on 2nd app
Crawling Time 00:37:40 | Assessment Time 23:18:58 | Operating System Linux 2.6 ... | |
Links Collected 1313 | Links Crawled 672 | Requests Performed 35229 | Avg. Response Time 6.917509 seconds |
Obviously the assessment time is going on way too long. Can anyone shed some light as to why this might be happening and how to fix it?
Thanks
The second web app is taking on average almost 7 seconds to respond to a request. That's extremely slow. I consider anything over 1 second to be slow. The scan time is obviously going to go up when the scanner has to wait so long for a response. Try to find out from the app owners why the web app has such slow performance.
