Signs your WordPress site is compromised.
If you’re seeing any of these, act quickly — the longer malware sits, the more damage it does to your rankings and reputation.
Google or your browser warns “this site may be hacked” or “deceptive site”.
Visitors get redirected to spammy or adult sites they never clicked.
Pop-ups, injected ads, or pharma / casino spam content you didn’t add.
Admin users, plugins or files you don’t recognise appear in wp-admin.
The site is suddenly slow, throwing errors, or your host suspended it.
Google Search Console flagged “Security issues” or “Social engineering”.
Hacked? 6 first-response steps.
If you want to try it yourself, start here. Prefer we handle it end to end? That’s what the emergency service below is for.
Take the site offline
Put WordPress into maintenance mode to stop the malware spreading to visitors and protect your reputation while you work.
Change every password
Reset WordPress admin, hosting/cPanel, FTP/SFTP and database passwords immediately. Assume all credentials are compromised.
Scan to find the infection
Run a scanner (Wordfence, or Sucuri SiteCheck for a free remote scan) to locate the malicious files and payloads.
Restore or replace core files
Restore from a known-clean backup if you have one, or overwrite wp-admin, wp-includes and core files with a fresh WordPress download.
Remove what doesn’t belong
Delete unknown admin users, unfamiliar plugins/themes and injected files. Reinstall legitimate plugins from clean sources.
Update, harden & monitor
Update everything, add 2FA, limit login attempts, then keep the site monitored so a small hole never becomes another hack.

How fast can you clean a hacked WordPress site?
Most sites are cleaned and back online the same day or within 24 hours. Urgent cases (site down, blocklisted, or losing sales) are prioritised.
Will I lose my content or data?
Almost never. We restore from a clean backup or clean the site in place, preserving your content, products and settings wherever possible.
Do you remove the Google “this site may be hacked” warning?
Yes. After cleaning we remove blocklisting and submit your site to Google and browser vendors for review so the warning is lifted.
What if my site gets reinfected?
We harden the site and can put it on an ongoing care plan with monitoring, so the vulnerability that let attackers in is closed and watched. Reinfections after hardening are rare.
Can you help if I’m not in Melbourne?
Yes — we clean and secure WordPress sites for businesses across Australia remotely. Melbourne-based, working Australia-wide.
