Recently, WordPress Site Health (in the dashboard under Tools) has started warning about too many autoloaded options. WordPress stores most settings in the wp_options table. Some of these are loaded automatically via the autoload property. Over time, some of these autoloaded options can build up - in some cases to a considerable size. For better WordPress website performance, it therefore makes sense to optimize the wp_options table from time to time and remove old clutter.
We explain how you can fix this performance issue.

A popular destination of current spam campaigns is a supposed Google sweepstakes. Accompanied by falling confetti, the message appears: 'You made the billionth Google search'. Of course, there is absolutely nothing to win here - it is a fake. The page serves one purpose only: to collect personal data, which is then sold.
The cause of the sweepstakes redirect is often a hacked (WordPress) website. Triggered by script viruses, visitors end up after roughly a 5-second redirect loop on the data collectors' pages.

Instead of a blank white page, WordPress has been displaying the message 'The website is experiencing technical difficulties' since version 5.2. This means there is a serious error in the PHP execution, which prevents the site from being displayed. In most cases, the error is caused by an incompatible WordPress plugin or the theme. Often, the admin login is no longer possible either.
Here you can find out how to resolve the technical difficulties.

Directly behind 1&1 Ionos and Hetzner, Strato ranks third among Germany's largest web hosting providers. Through aggressive €1 marketing and large-scale 'Service Champion' advertising campaigns, the provider has gained a market share of just under 14% over the years.
Accordingly, a large share of our customers also host their website with Strato. In principle, Strato is well positioned in terms of security features. However, if a hack occurs, the malware handling is handled in an unfortunate way.
If the server-side malware scanner finds malicious files as a result of a hacker attack, the hosting package is immediately suspended and you receive an email with the subject line 'Suspension of your package ...'.
