WordPress Malware Removal
A common task I get asked to undertake is to remove malware from WordPress websites. Thankfully, I have the tools to help out.
How to tell if your WordPress website is infected?
There are a number of signs that your WordPress website has been hacked, some more obvious than others. They include:
- WordPress site redirecting to spam site
- Google results show a ‘Site may be hacked’ message
- Google blacklist
- Google Ads flags scripts on your website
- Web host has suspended your account
- People are complaining
Can you guarantee removing the malware?
There are no guarantees in this world, but I’m armed with great tools and I have a great success rate. If I can’t remove the malware, I won’t be charging you.
How can I stop malware coming back?
This is the most important question. If your website or server has been a successful target for malware, it will most likely continue to be targeted. There are a number of things that can be done to combat malware. including:
- Ensuring that WordPress core files are up to date
- Ensuring that WordPress theme files are up to date
- Ensuring that WordPress plugins are up to date
- Ensuring that your theme and plugins are reputable and supported
- Ensuring that you are hosted on non-shared servers
- Utilise brute force protection
- Add malware scans & firewalls
- Include IP lockout facilities
- Add 2-factor authentication to your website login
It’s worth noting that I include all of the above in my wordpress hosting packages 🙂
How much does it cost to remove WordPress malware?
Typically I charge $150USD to remove the malware from infected WordPress websites. If for any reason I’m unsuccessful, I won’t charge you.
