Recently i had a malicious attack on my wordpress website through the EA for elementor , after that i downloaded some plugins for security and monitoring activity , like activity log for logs and wordfence . But after that my site size increased froM 15 GB to 52 GB , and i dont understand why this happened , though i was warned about wordfence , that it would take considerably large amount of resource , but i did’nt expected that much.
