WordPress security and malware removal
If your WordPress site has been hacked, we clean it, find and close the way in, help remove search warnings and harden the site so it stays clean. If it has not been hacked yet, we make it much harder to.

Good to know
Where WordPress attacks usually start
Most WordPress security problems come from plugins, not from WordPress itself. That is why keeping plugins to the ones each site really needs, and keeping them updated, matters so much.
- Most common way inOutdated or abandoned plugins and themes
- Best defenceFewer plugins, regular tested updates and strong log in security

Is it right for you
An honest answer before you spend anything
A good fit
- Anyone whose WordPress site is showing spam, redirecting visitors, flagged by Google or their host, or simply has not been updated in a long time.
Probably not the right fit
- If the site is very old and heavily infected, rebuilding on clean code can be safer than cleaning. We will tell you if so.
How quickly can you start?
We treat hacked sites as urgent. Message us on WhatsApp with the site address and we will confirm a start time straight away.
Will we lose content?
We back up the site first and keep your real content while removing what does not belong.
How did they get in?
Most often through an outdated plugin or theme, or a weak password. We find the cause so it can be closed.
Can you stop it happening again?
We harden the site and can keep it updated and monitored on a maintenance plan.
