And that code is repeated in various pages

It would be better not to have a `public` dir

rather than having all the files from it put to root (keep the files structure that is inside that dir)

root = htdocs folder

so index.php is called when someone types just this into the browser  
`octatradefx.freecluster.eu`

Note: complications are possible if the `public` dir is hardcoded somewhere in the path of your code.

In addition, it would be desirable [to create a .htaccess file](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/how-to-set-custom-htaccess-rules/49350)  
in the htdocs folder (or edit existing if you have it in the `public` folder after you move the files)  
so that no one can dig through the contents of your directories.

```auto
# Disable Directory Listings in this Directory and Subdirectories
Options -Indexes

```
