 * Wordfence was updated to the latest version 7.9.3. There was a pop-up that kept
   appearing, even after dismissing, asking to manually update Wordfence rules, 
   with a link to do so, so I clicked the link. After clicking the link, the entire
   server crashed. Not good.
 * edit: it might have coincidentally occured at the exact same time that the web
   host is having an outage. Updated to 5 stars until more info. Wanted to delete
   this, but can’t.

      Reason: caveat about web host

 * Thanks for reaching out. 
   That does sound like it was coincidental to the hosting
   provider’s outage. Hopefully they can their issue corrected soon.
