Hacked Website Repair and WordPress Malware Removal
If your site is redirecting to spam, showing a browser warning or has been flagged by Google, I’ll clean it, close the hole the attacker used, and harden it so it stays clean.
Website Security & Malware Removal, done by one experienced specialist
A hacked website is urgent. Visitors get redirected to scams, Google shows “This site may be hacked” warnings, your host may suspend the account, and your email can start landing in spam. Every hour costs trust and traffic.
I’ve cleaned and restored hacked sites for years. Cleaning is only half the job: if the vulnerability isn’t found and closed, the malware comes back within days. My process removes the infection, fixes the entry point and hardens the site.
Does this sound familiar?
- Visitors are being redirected to strange sites
- Google or your browser shows a security warning
- Your host suspended the site for malware
- Unknown admin users or files appeared
- Spam pages in other languages show up in Google
- You want protection before something happens
What’s included
Every engagement is scoped to your site, but these are the parts I cover.

Root-cause fix

Blacklist removal

Hardening

HTTPS everywhere and security headers set correctly.
Backups & monitoring
Clean backups and ongoing scanning so problems are caught early.
How it works

Back up the infected site for evidence and limit further damage.
Clean

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my WordPress site is hacked?
Common signs are redirects to other sites, browser or Google warnings, unfamiliar admin users, spam pages in search results, a sudden traffic drop, or a warning from your host. If in doubt, contact me and I’ll check.
How fast can you clean a hacked site?
Most cleanups are completed within one to two business days. Blacklist reviews by Google can take a few more days after that.
Will I lose my content?
Rarely. I clean the existing site rather than wiping it. Where files are beyond repair, I restore them from clean sources.
How do I stop it happening again?
Keep everything updated, use strong unique passwords with two-factor authentication, run a firewall and keep off-site backups. A care plan covers all of that.
