  I’m having an issue with my WordPress site where it keeps redirecting instead of loading normally, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. When I try to open it, it either redirects to another page or doesn’t display the expected content, even though I haven’t intentionally set up any redirects.

  So far, I’ve checked my installed plugins and didn’t find anything unusual, and I also reviewed the general WordPress settings to make sure the site URL and home URL are correct. I even tested the site on different browsers and devices, but the issue still happens consistently, which makes it harder to figure out where the problem is coming from.

  At this point, I’m not sure if it’s caused by a plugin conflict, a problem in the .htaccess file, hosting/server-level redirects, or something more serious like malware. I’d really appreciate if someone could guide me step by step on how to properly diagnose and fix this issue.

  I took a look at your site and the redirect definitely doesn’t seem like normal WordPress behavior. It feels more like something is being triggered before WordPress fully loads, which usually points to either a server-level rule or something injected (like malware). If it was just a plugin issue, you’d typically still see the site load partially or get a predictable redirect, but this looks more forced. First thing I’d suggest is checking your .htaccess file for any unfamiliar redirect rules, especially anything pointing to external URLs. Also, try temporarily disabling all plugins via FTP (rename the plugins folder) to rule that out completely. If the issue still happens after that, then it’s likely not plugin-related.

  I’d also recommend scanning your files for any suspicious code, particularly in index.php, theme files, or even core WordPress files. Sometimes redirects are injected in a way that’s not obvious from the dashboard. If your hosting has malware scanning or logs, check those as well—they can often show where the redirect is being triggered.
