Malware removal, blacklist cleanup and hardening for WordPress sites on the Treasure Coast, with a plain-English report of what happened.

Quick answer

What should I do if my WordPress site is hacked?

Act quickly and avoid making changes that overwrite evidence. The site needs to be scanned, the malicious code and any backdoors removed, passwords and keys replaced, and the software updated. Then you request a review if Google or your host flagged the site.

The problem

A hacked site costs you leads every day it stays flagged.

Common signs include a Google warning in search results, a host suspension notice, strange pages or redirects, spam in your search listings, or admin users you did not create. Visitors who see a warning rarely come back.

Most WordPress hacks come through outdated plugins, weak or reused passwords, or abandoned themes. Cleaning only the visible symptom usually means the site is infected again within days, so the fix has to include finding the way in.

Hacked site repair questions

How long does a hacked site cleanup take?

Many cleanups take a day or two, but it depends on the size of the site and how deeply it is infected. We tell you what we find before committing to a timeline.

Will you restore from a backup instead?

Sometimes a clean backup is the fastest fix, but only if we can confirm it predates the infection and the entry point is closed. Otherwise the site gets hacked again.

Can you remove the Google warning?

We fix the cause and submit the review request. Google decides when the warning is lifted, so we cannot promise an exact date.

Can you keep it from happening again?

No one can promise a site will never be attacked, but updates, a firewall, login protection and backups greatly reduce the risk. Ongoing care is available after the cleanup.
