Emergency WordPress repair
Your site is hacked. We clean it within 24 hours.

Recognise any of these?
Visitors get redirected
They click your link and land on a pharmacy or betting site.
Google shows a warning
A red interstitial before your page. Traffic drops to almost nothing.
Pages you never wrote
Spam pages indexed under your domain, often in another language.
Blank page or PHP errors
The white screen, or warnings printed above your header.
Your host suspended you
An email about malicious files and an account that is now offline.
Admin users you don't know
Accounts added at 3am, often with an innocent-looking name.
Every hour
Google crawls more of the injected pages, and the damage to your rankings gets deeper.
Every day
Customers who see a warning do not come back to check whether you fixed it.
Every week
Hosts suspend repeat offenders, and a suspended account takes your email down with it.
$249 flat, cleaned within 24 hours.
What you get afterwards
You find out how they got in, not just that it is gone.
Every cleanup ends with a written report: the entry point, everything found and removed, what we hardened, and where the blacklist requests stand.

How they got in
What we found and removed
The cron job is why this matters. A cleanup that removes the visible files but misses the scheduled task looks successful for about six hours. It is the most common reason a “cleaned” site reinfects.
What we hardened
Google & blacklists
What happens if you change nothing. The site was clean on 22 July and runs 27 plugins that need updating again within a fortnight. This happened because nobody was applying security updates — not because of anything unusual about the site.

Our process
How every cleanup runs, in order
Eight steps, and the order is the point
Most failed cleanups skip step 2 or step 6. Both are why sites reinfect.
Backup the infected site
Counter-intuitive, and essential. It is evidence of how they got in, and the fallback if a cleanup goes wrong.
~10 minutesFind the entry point
Server logs, file timestamps, plugin versions. Cleaning without this means doing it again next week.
1–3 hoursDeep scan
Files and database. Uploads, wp-config, .htaccess, options tables, and above the web root where people never look.
1–2 hoursReplace, do not repair
Core, plugins and themes replaced with clean copies from source. Hand-editing infected files always misses something.
1–2 hoursClean the database
Injected rows, rogue admin accounts, anything left in postmeta by the payload.
~1 hourKill the reinstaller
Scheduled tasks and second copies outside the WordPress folder. Skip this and the site is reinfected within hours.
~30 minutesRotate and harden
Every credential and the security salts, file editor disabled, permissions fixed, PHP execution blocked in uploads.
~45 minutesReport and delist
Google review requested, blacklists checked, and a written report of what was found, removed and changed.
~45 minutesThen we tell you the uncomfortable part. Nearly every site we clean was compromised through a plugin patched months earlier. If nothing changes about how it is maintained, it will happen again — and we would rather say so than sell you a second cleanup.

What the cleanup actually covers
Eight steps, in this order, every time. It is the order that matters: clean without closing the way in and the site is reinfected within the week.
Step 1
Backup before anything
Files and database copied off the server first, as both evidence and a rollback point.
Step 2
Deep scan, not a plugin scan
File-level and database-level inspection, including the places plugin scanners routinely miss.
Step 3
Clean replacements, not patches
Core, plugins and themes replaced with clean copies from official sources rather than edited by hand.
Step 4
Backdoors removed
Rogue admin users, injected scripts, malicious cron jobs, modified .htaccess and wp-config.
Step 5
Everything rotated
Passwords, database credentials, salts and keys, so the old way back in stops working.
Step 6
Hardened against a repeat
Firewall, 2FA, correct file permissions, abandoned plugins removed, PHP version checked.
Step 7
Warnings lifted
Blacklist removal requested with Google Safe Browsing, Sucuri and VirusTotal.
Step 8
A report you can read
What was found, what was removed, how it got in, and what to change so it does not happen again.
What you have at the end of it
When we hand back
- A site that loads your content, for everyone, including Google
- No warning interstitial, and blacklist removals submitted
- Every credential rotated, so the old access is dead
- The entry point closed and documented
- A hardened install: firewall, 2FA, correct permissions
- A report you can forward to whoever asks what happened
What we need from you
- WordPress admin login, if it still works
- Hosting control panel or SFTP access
- The domain, and any warning message you can see
- Whether you have a backup from before the problem started
No hosting access? We can still clean the WordPress install, but hosting access is what separates a clean site from one that quietly reinfects.
Start the cleanup
Pay, send access on a short form, and the work begins. If the hosting account itself is compromised and your host will not act, we refund you in full and tell you exactly what needs to happen instead.

After the cleanup, your first month on any care plan is half price.
A cleaned site that goes back to being unmaintained is a site that gets hacked again. Most reinfections we see are the same outdated plugin, three months later.
Why not just run a security plugin?
Scanners are good at finding known signatures in known places. They are poor at spotting an injected admin user, a cron job that reinstalls the payload after you think you are done, or a backdoor sitting outside the WordPress folder entirely. Cleaning is judgement work, and judgement is what decides whether the infection comes back.
Why not restore an old backup?
Because the backup usually contains the same vulnerability, and often the same backdoor: most infections sit quietly for weeks before they do anything visible. A restore also throws away every order, comment and page published since. We use backups as a safety net, not as the fix.
We will tell you honestly if a cleanup is not the right answer, for example when the server itself is compromised or the site is running on a WordPress version so old that rebuilding is cheaper. You get your money back rather than a job that will not hold.
