 * The critical error in WordPress is generally caused by a malfunctioning plugin,
   script, or code that prevents WordPress from functioning correctly. You need 
   to find the cause of the issue and fix it.
    In most cases, the email you get 
   has more detailed information about the error. Check the bottom of the email 
   they may name a malfunctioning plugin causing the error. Check the link attached
   in the email that will allow you to log in to your WordPress website in recovery
   mode. Deactivate the malfunctioning plugin or if you can’t locate it, deactivate
   all WordPress plugins and then activate them one by one. Also, this topic was
   resolved before, check this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-on-your-website/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-on-your-website/)
