Common Reasons for False Positives or Negatives
While WPMissionControl is designed for high accuracy, there are occasional cases of false alerts. Here are some common reasons:
- Firewall Restrictions
Your server’s firewall may block requests from our IPs, mistaking them for malicious traffic. - Rate Limiting
Some hosting providers limit the number of requests they accept from a single IP address, leading to inaccurate monitoring results. - Website Caching
Overly aggressive caching settings may serve outdated versions of your website or block monitoring requests entirely. - Network Interruptions
Temporary issues between our monitoring servers and your host may cause brief periods of inaccessibility. - Dynamic Website Responses
Some websites serve different responses based on geolocation or IP, potentially skewing our monitoring results.
Tips to Whitelist WPMissionControl IPs
To avoid false positives and ensure uninterrupted monitoring, follow these tips to whitelist our IP addresses:
- Firewall Configuration
Add our IPs to the whitelist or allowlist in your server’s firewall settings to ensure our requests are not blocked. - Hosting Provider Settings
If your website is hosted with a managed provider (e.g., Cloudflare, SiteGround, or GoDaddy), contact them to whitelist our IPs. - Security Plugins
If you use a WordPress security plugin (e.g., Wordfence or Sucuri), ensure our IPs are added to the plugin’s allowed list. - Rate Limiting Adjustments
Relax the request limits for our IP addresses to prevent accidental blocking. - Periodic Checks
Test your website’s availability to our monitoring servers periodically to confirm the whitelist is working correctly. Learn more here.
By following these steps, you can improve monitoring accuracy and get the most out of WPMissionControl.
