All the ajax calls in the frontend are made by the default URL /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. This URL is also used by hackers to upload viruses and scripts on your website.
Changing the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php URL is mandatory for protecting the WordPress site from hackers.
To easily change the admin-ajax.php path, use the WP Ghost plugin. After adding a new Ajax URL, the default admin-ajax.php URL will be hidden from hackers.
