> WordPress includes a Site Health tool that checks your website’s configuration and reports potential issues. You can find it under Tools → Site Health in your WordPress admin area, or it may appear through plugins like Health Check & Troubleshooting. Don’t worry if you see multiple warnings when running these checks on InfinityFree. Most warnings are completely normal and expected on free hosting. Your website works perfectly fine for visitors despite these alerts. The warnings appear because f…

This also affects WordPress trying to access it’s own website. Connections like that may result in a 403 Forbidden response, or receiving the HTML code for the security challenge.

Because of this:

While this protects your site from malicious traffic, it can affect certain types of access. How the security system works The system checks that visitors can execute JavaScript and accept cookies: features that all modern web browsers support. This verification happens automatically and most website visitors will never notice it. You may occa…

I found that the Block Editor will still function without this REST API. There isn’t any issues when it comes down to this, so it should usually be ignored.

It was working fine… anyway to fix it? also my htaccess file keep deleting itself I wanted to force https plus get rid of ?i=1 the end of a url so I basically used this code below. from this link [Clean URL with .htaccess](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/clean-url-with-htaccess/44742)

> Blockquote

```auto

> If this security system means your website or application does not work as expected on InfinityFree, please consider to moving your website to [premium hosting](https://infinityfree.net/premium/). On premium hosting, this security system is not present (your website will be protected in less obtrusive ways), so you can access your website through other clients which are not browsers

The person who made the code didn’t test to see if it worked on WordPress.
