My WordPress site was hacked. What should I do?

Stop panicking and act fast. First, put your site in maintenance mode if possible. Then contact a WordPress security professional immediately. Avoid deleting files manually as this can make the cleanup harder. At WPSecureGuard, we offer emergency malware removal with a no-fix, no-fee guarantee.

How long does WordPress malware removal take?

Most cleanups are completed within 24–48 hours, depending on how deep the infection goes and how many files have to be inspected.

What is included in WordPress malware removal?

Our service includes full malware scanning and removal, backdoor cleanup, security patching, Google blacklist removal request, and basic hardening to prevent reinfection. It comes with a 30-day reinfection guarantee; ongoing monitoring afterwards is covered by our recurring Complete plan.

Will Google remove the "This site may be hacked" warning after cleanup?

Yes. Once your site is clean, we submit a review request to Google Search Console on your behalf. Google typically processes these reviews within 1–3 days.

How much does it cost to fix a hacked WordPress site?

Our one-time Recovery service is $349, which includes full cleanup, backdoor removal, basic hardening and a 30-day reinfection guarantee. To stay protected after the cleanup, our Complete plan is $199/month or $1,999/year. We operate on a no-fix, no-fee basis.

What if my site gets hacked again after cleanup?

Recovery includes a 30-day reinfection guarantee: if the same attack vector comes back within 30 days of the cleanup, we fix it at no extra cost. Beyond that window, ongoing protection is covered by our Complete plan, which includes emergency hack recovery as part of the subscription.
