# .htaccess is confusing – redirect issues

 * I’ve been having some strange intermittent redirect issues and timeouts causing
   problems on my WP dashboard and causing slow loading times. My host (Wiredtree)
   narrowed it down to htaccess rules (seeing redirect timeouts in the logs.) I 
   looked into my htaccess, which I only modified myself to include some 301s and
   found quite a bit more that I can’t decipher. I’ll paste the htaccess below (
   minus my 301s) – is there anything in here that could cause issues? I have no
   clue what any of this means or what plugins may have added it. I had W3TC but
   have since deactivated it:
 * >  # BEGIN HGDENY
   >  # order deny,allow # allow from 216.110.94.228 ##HTX # allow
   > from 74.202.255.243 ##ATX # deny from all # END HGDENY
   > # BEGIN HGDENY
   >  # order deny,allow # allow from 216.110.94.228 # allow from
   > 74.202.227.55 # allow from 75.189.158.29 # allow from 216.110.94.228 ##HTX #
   > allow from 74.202.255.243 ##ATX # odeny from all # END HGDENY
   > #RewriteEngine On
   >  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z.]+)?automoblog\.net$ [NC]
   > RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteRule .? [http://www.%1automoblog.net%](http://www.%1automoblog.net%){
   > REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
   > # BEGIN WordPress
   >  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   > RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   > REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
   > # END WordPress
