aiowps_captcha autoload options quite crush our website
-
After the last update the plugin started creating hundreds of thousands of rows in the options table with autoload like “yes” which almost made our website crash. Pages load times have grown more than tenfold and memory and resource usage has grown considerably. After deleting all the rows of the options table like “aiowps_captcha_string_info%” the values are back to normal. Now I have enabled google recaptcha and no more rows are created in the options table. But even with chapta disabled everywhere, if the “Google rechapta” option is disabled, these deleterious rows start to be inserted again in the wordpress options table.
I post some images can explain better:
Our server/database memory usage and speed
WP options table rows

I have all ready activated other features under “brute force”… We had a lot attack in the past and many blocked ip and never had problem. This a bug of the plugin not an attack. Since last updated of the plugin 9th April (you can see in the fist image i posted) “All In One WP Security & Firewall” start to create more than 100000 rows in our wp_options table whit autolad like “yes” that mean those options are loaded in every page load of the website with no sense. Bevfore there was only 500-600 rows whit autoload like “yes”. Can you explain me the sense to autoload 100000 options of captcha_string_info….
Backup your options table and than you have to execute the following SQL query:
DELETE FROM
yourtableprefix_optionsWHEREoption_nameLIKE “%aiowps_captcha_string%”where yourtableprefix = Your table prefix
