I have checked some URL in urlfiltering.paloaltonetworks.com and category does not relate. I want to know How Palo consider the URL and put it to that category.

@Thanakorn.in,

It's automated categorization primarily that take into account the content, features, and prevalence of the URL showing up in identified threat activity. Past that, anyone can submit a category change request and get that URL analyzed to confirm the selected categories.

Those change requests can be manually reviewed or automatic; it seems like there's some sort of low threshold of "hits" of a URL that allows it to be automatically reviewed and updated. Most of the time if you put in a category change request that's being reviewed by an actual human as I understand it.
