WordPress Hack Cleanup

Your WordPress site got hacked? We'll clean it up, remove the malware, and get you back online. Fast response, thorough cleanup, and we'll help prevent it happening again.

Is Your Site Hacked?

Sometimes it's obvious your site has been hacked. Other times it's not so clear. Here are the common signs:

  • Unexpected ads, pop-ups, or content you didn't create
  • Google warnings about malware or security issues
  • Site suddenly running slow or crashing
  • Users reporting suspicious behaviour or redirects
  • Can't log into your WordPress admin
  • Strange files or code you don't recognise

If any of these sound familiar, your site might be compromised. The sooner you get it cleaned up, the better. Every day it's hacked, it's damaging your reputation and potentially affecting your visitors.

How We Clean Up Your Site

Thorough Malware Scan

We scan your entire site using professional tools to find all malware, malicious code, backdoors, and anything else that shouldn't be there. We check files, databases, themes, plugins, everything.

Complete Malware Removal

We remove all traces of malware, malicious code, backdoors, and spam links. We clean infected files, remove unauthorised code, and restore your site to a clean state. Nothing gets left behind.

File Integrity Check

We compare your WordPress core files, themes, and plugins against clean versions. Any files that have been modified or corrupted get replaced with clean copies. Your site gets restored to a known good state.

Security Hardening

Once your site is clean, we secure it properly. We update everything, change passwords and security keys, fix file permissions, remove unauthorised user accounts, and implement security measures to prevent future attacks.

Blacklist Removal

If your site has been blacklisted by Google or other services, we'll help you get it removed. We'll submit your site for review and guide you through the process to get your reputation restored.

Performance Restoration

Hacked sites often run slow because of malicious code. Once we've cleaned everything up, your site should run faster. We'll optimise it to make sure it's performing properly again.
