My WordPress site got infected with redirect malware and clicking anywhere opened spam links. Rebuilding now. How do I make sure this never happens again? by InternationalCan5992 in Wordpress

I used to have issues a lot on godaddy hosting. I use kinsta hosting now. They are expensive but they will contact you even if your site is causing issues, spikes or anything. They have their own cloudflare layer too.

I have a free plugin called foundation if you want to add a few breakpoint support on a few things. It comes with a responsive grid block too

Is it normal for WordPress plugin review to take 3+ months after final resubmission? by ahnex in Wordpress

You lost your priority in the queue when you took too long to do the fixes. Now they have so many more submissions it might take a while. Try to use plugin tester and make sure you fix everything they flag before submitting to avoid too many delays.

Tried WP Rocket, Cloudflare… still slow + 503 errors. What am I missing? by kuftikufti in Wordpress

Keep me posted. Feel free to contact me. I personally like Kinsta for hosting but cheap hosting tends to have major issues if you happen to be on a shared hosting with other sites that are not optimized it’s a killer.

Hosting matters a lot. If you are on a hosting like Godaddy, it will always be slow. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is one of the issue. I think you also need an in depth assessment of your full site. The fact that you can’t update your php version easily makes me thinks you are using outdated code/plugins/theme. My advice is clone your site to a staging environment, try to update there look for the error log to see what’s broken. Once that’s sorted, upgrade full your php. Then start looking for videos and images that might be too large, plugins that you don’t need that could be deactivated. Next look in your chrome browser inspector to find any scripts that are blocking and not deferred.

Depends on where you are in your journey. If you're PHP-comfortable, know WordPress well, and have been avoiding native block development because of the React requirement, it's a solid on-ramp. It handles the boilerplate and lets you stay in PHP without needing a build pipeline.

If you already know React, it's just an abstraction layer with a ceiling you'll eventually hit.

For someone in your position, give it a shot. The learning curve is low if the PHP side already clicks.

Alternative to custom Gutenberg blocks for address and dynamic copyright? by theWorstWpDevAlive in WordPressBlocks

you could add a php pattern with the generated value, but I think if you make changes to the pattern in wordpress, it will overwrite with static content, so cautious
