If you can recover the database to one prior to the WPQD installation, that might work. Since the plugin no longer exists, something in the database could be still left. I do see the redirect when I visited your website.
Also, I would check the htaccess file to see if it has any WPQD redirects.
I suggest to disable all plugins and themes, and check if it still redirects.
I didn’t find anything that mentions WPQD in the htacess file. But I may just not really know what I’m looking at. I also see several files with this name, so
I tried to drop in an old backup but Updraft kept saying the file wasn’t created by Updraft even though it definitely was. So I wasn’t able to go as far back as I hoped.
Disabling everything did stop it from redirecting, but didn’t really narrow down the problem for me.
Still troubleshooting.
If it helps… this is what my HTACCESS file says…
But I believe it’s pretty standard.

Also, I tried to ONLY disable all plugins and it still happened. Then I tried to ONLY disable the theme, and it still happened. So I tried disabling both again, and it STILL happened. So my previous test was a false readout. (I don’t get the redirect 100% of the time for some reason.)
Making me believe it’s neither a plugin issue anymore nor a theme issue.
Run the Health Check plugin.
Your site runs fine, except for that minor “redirect”, which might be just a notice telling you the WordPress Quick Draw plugin is off. I suggest you to contact the plugin developer about that issue
The problem is that just a few days after I installed, the plugin dropped off the plugin store and says “Support for this plugin no longer exists.” I have such a hard time believing no one else has run into this problem, yet I can’t find much of anything about it specifically.
I run the health check and don’t see anything that is obviously related.
Thank you all for the advice. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon.
“Support for this plugin no longer exists.”
I’m sorry. Reading through the code, it seems like it is a setting. I suggest to create a full backup of your site. Also, to re-create your site on your computer (a local test environment) and then try to fix the issue. In the test environment, you can search in the database if there is any entry from that plugin.
