Open Spam Monitor Settings

Go to:

SEO Repair Kit → Spam Monitor → Settings

---

Enable Scheduled Scans

Turn on:

Enable Scheduled Scans

The interface explains that this option is disabled by default and provider requests are not used until scheduled scanning is enabled and saved.

---

Choose the Frequency

Use:

Frequency

to select how often scheduled monitoring should run.

The current screenshot shows:

Every day (Recommended)

Choose from the options available in your installation according to how often the website should be monitored.

---

Configure Scan Depth

Use:

Scan Depth

to control the available scheduled scan depth.

The current configuration displays a three-request option capable of checking up to the number of records indicated by the interface.

Because the exact options may vary, choose from the values presented by your current Spam Monitor installation.

---

Set the Run Time

Use:

Run Time

to choose the intended time for the scheduled scan.

The interface also displays the timezone used by the schedule.

---

Include Subdomains

Enable:

Include Subdomains

when indexed results from the website’s subdomains should be included in monitoring.

Leave it disabled if monitoring should remain limited to the primary website according to your intended setup.

---

Developer Testing Mode

The Settings screen includes:

Developer testing mode

This allows scheduled automation to scan a public test website while using the current site’s Spam Rules and provider settings.

For normal production monitoring, keep this disabled unless you specifically need the testing workflow.

---

Scheduled Website

The Scheduled Website field displays the website used for scheduled scans.

In normal mode, scheduled scans use the current WordPress website.

The field becomes editable only when Developer testing mode is enabled.

---

Review Schedule Information

The status area displays:

Website

The website used for scheduled monitoring.

Next Run

The intended next scheduled scan.

Last Run

The previous scheduled run.

Last Status

The status of the previous run.

Estimated Monthly Requests

An estimate of provider requests based on the current schedule.

Last Scan

The most recent scan reference.

---

Understand WordPress Cron Timing

The interface notes that WordPress Cron runs due tasks on the next site request.

Therefore, the displayed scheduled time is the intended site-local run time, but execution can be delayed on low-traffic websites.

---

Save the Schedule

After configuring monitoring, click:

Save Schedule

---

Run Now

Click:

Run Now

when you want to trigger the available scan workflow without waiting for the next scheduled run.

---

Reset Schedule Settings

Use:

Reset Schedule Settings

when you intentionally want to reset the scheduled-monitoring configuration.

---

Review SRK Cloud Status

The SRK Cloud Status card displays connection and synchronization information.

It can include:

• Connection
• Rules Sync
• Last Rules Sync
• Free Trial Remaining
• Provider Connection

---

Review Default Scan Behavior

The Default Scan Behavior card summarizes the default scan configuration.

The current interface shows information such as:

• Default Indexed Results
• Estimated Requests
• Include Subdomains
• Manual Request Limit

This section is primarily a status/summary area rather than the main scheduled-monitoring configuration.

---

Review SERP Provider

The SERP Provider card shows the provider connection used for SERP scanning.

The current interface displays:

• Recommended Provider
• Current Provider
• Provider Mode
• Masked Credentials
• Last Tested
• Connection status

Security: Keep provider credentials private. Documentation screenshots should mask API keys or other credentials.

---

Review Alerts Summary

The Alerts Summary card gives you a quick view of alert configuration.

It includes:

• Email Alerts
• Alert Email
• Suspicious Alerts
• Spam Alerts
• Critical Alerts

Use Open Alerts when you need to change the full alert configuration.

---

Open Google SERP Scan

Use:

Open Google SERP Scan

to move directly from Settings to the manual scan workflow.
