Scan too slow on shared hosting

Tune scan behavior for constrained servers.

Switch Scan Mode to 'Chunked (shared hosting)' — this splits the scan into 30-second batches with pauses in between.

Exclude /wp-content/uploads/ from full byte-scans (heuristic-only is enough for uploads directory).

Schedule scans during off-peak hours (Malwipe → Settings → Schedule).
