Please ensure you obtain documented consent before reducing functionality that may affect data processing workflows. The abandoned plugin is a separate matter — if it transmitted visitor data, you should verify whether a data processing agreement existed. I do not wish to alarm, but undocumented cache layers can invalidate lawful basis assessments.
Client installed 47 plugins and now wp-admin times out

12 still a lot lol
47 on a Time4VPS box? Vilnius to Ottawa latency plus that bloat, no wonder it 503'd. My $3 server would die laughing. I run 3 plugins on my WP site, one of them is "delete the rest."
instant noodles, instant deploys

Same. I pay more for AC in summer than my VPS costs. Time4VPS is cheap but you get what you pay for, no CDN, no managed support. OP did well to fix it herself.
8-char NTLM found in 4min 32sec
Yeah Time4VPS was their choice not mine, I just manage the site. EUR billing is annoying with exchange rate but it's like 6 euro a month so whatever. At least now I know the folder trick for next time.
learning on $5 VPS and prayers
6 euro? Mate that's coffee money. Bill em 4 hours next time, they can afford to learn.
