The Web URL Filter feature provides protection against URL categories. The Web
URL Filter policy profile assigned to each zone determines whether to block or
forward the HTTP request from the hosts in the zone. The blocked request will be
logged.
Enabling Web URL Filter consumes additional system resources and may impact
the system performance. Go to the Status -> Dashboard page to view the CPU and
memory utilizations. To conserve the system resources, disable the service when
it is no longer needed.
