Crashed my website

This crashed my website and caused a fatal error in front-end and back-end. It took me 2 hours to fix it back. I am a web developer so I did it myself but what about other users, they might get in big trouble. Don’t use this plugin. It’s waste of time and you will get your website in trouble.

Crashed the entire website after scan

When it ran the first scan I got the result, but it caused a critical error on the website. I had to manually deactivate plugins, then disable this plugin. It crashed the Woocommerce installation. Take backups before use, like I did!

Only for plugins

Pros: it works Cons: if it’s not the matter of plugin – you’ll never know what’s causing 26K of queries at your WP
