 * Hi,
   The host of a website I update has said that the following table is creating
   too many rows and causing the WP admin to crash or open super slowly.
 * They said: “We found that the WordPress application is crashing due to an issue
   with one of your database tables, which is preventing access to your dashboard.
   Specifically, the table **wp_xft08s4jyt_redirection_404** is associated with 
   your **Redirection** plugin. This plugin is continuously creating new rows in
   your database, which is causing your Managed WordPress site to become unresponsive.”
 * I have deactivated the plugin, will it cause any issues to the site if I go in
   and delete that table?
 * Thanks

 * This MIGHT actually be a good thing.. kinda. Think about it, if that table is
   being hit that much then this “may” mean there is something hitting your website
   and causing this. I would rather want to know that that was happening vs thinking
   this plugin is doing that “without it be made” to do it by something else causing
   it to, as they said, “continuously creating new rows in your database”.
   Did you
   look at it’s logs? Have you tried Query Monitor and it’s logs?

 * Yes, we are looking at what’s causing the issue in the redirection plugin to 
   create all the logs. However, as we need to address this quickly we want to see
   if by deleting the table it will help get the site running smoothly again and
   then we will continue to investigate the root cause.
 * Do you know if it will cause any issues if we delete the table?
 * Thanks for any help / advice, it’s all much appreciated.

 * The plugin expects the table to exist. You can just disable the monitoring option.
