Deleting db table ps_pagenotfound and Lot of /wp-admin.php accesses there.

[simberak]

Hello,

 

I would like to delete table ps_pagenotfound in db, because it is too heavy and there are records 9 years old from older versions of ps, is that safe? Wont it affect web some way?

 

And to do I will just truncate the table and then is good to optimizate the table too?

 

 

And second question: in that table ps_pagenotfound  I found that are tens of records where request_uri is /wp-admin.php. Does it mean that somebody thinks that I run the shop on Wordpress and WooCommerce and want to get into my admin?? Some bot?

 

Thank for discusion,

 

Daniel

Sure you can, check out the Tidy module, where you can set this kind of process as a cron task for every day auto cleanup.

 

And probably yes, as Wordpress is the most hacked system, some bots scan your site to check for wp-admin.

Thank you for your answer Daresh.

 

To that bots scaning, do I have to do with that something, or it is normal that bots scans WP login page?

[Daresh]

Normal I think, WP has some plugins with blacklists, you can also check your logs and add some of the most common bots to your blacklists if they use up to many server resources.
