Yes, it's important to review the logs weekly during the first month. Look for false positives (legitimate users blocked) and adjust the limits as needed. SeenSecure learns from your site's traffic.
No. SeenSecure is optimized to run quickly without affecting speed. Events are logged asynchronously so they don't impact the user experience.
