No, a scan with Eye-Able Report sends far too few requests, and sends them too slowly, for security systems to classify it as a DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service).
System load caused by the scan
The load roughly corresponds to that of a few concurrent users of the website.
Security options
If there are still concerns, the scanner’s fixed IP address can be added to the allowlist. You can find it in the Report settings in your dashboard.
The Broken Links Scan can also be deactivated if required. In addition, the scanner’s activity can be tracked and monitored at any time. You can find a log file containing the last IP address of the scan in the Report settings under “Page Actions” and “Open Logs”.
Adjusting the scan speed
The scan speed can be reduced on request via our support team.
