👽How to repair a hacked WordPress site – Step by step guide
Are you worried or concerned that your site may have been hacked? In this video, I’m going to walk you through the common telltale signs that your site has actually been hacked and how to fix it.
I’m often asked how to tell if the site’s been hacked and here are the things that you need to look out for.
✅00:37 – 1. SUDDEN DROP IN TRAFFIC
✅01:28 – 2. BAD LINKS THAT ARE ADDED TO YOUR WEBSITE
✅01:51 – 3. YOUR HOMEPAGE IS DEFACED
✅02:21 – 4. YOU CAN’T LOG IN
✅02:43 – 5. SUSPICIOUS USER ACCOUNTS IN YOUR ADMIN
✅03:01 – 6. UNKNOWN FILES OR SCRIPTS ON YOUR WEBSITE
✅03:16 – 7. THE WEBSITE IS OFTEN SLOW OR UNRESPONSIVE
✅03:40 – 8. UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN YOUR SERVER LOGS
✅04:27 – 9. FAILURE TO SEND AND RECEIVE WORDPRESS E-MAILS
✅04:47 – 10. SUSPICIOUS SCHEDULED TASKS
✅05:14 – 11. HIJACKED SEARCH RESULTS
✅05:29 – 12. POP-UP OR POP-UNDER ADS ON YOUR WEBSITE
✅05:53 – 13. CORE WORDPRESS FILES ARE CHANGED
✅06:41 – 14. USERS ARE RANDOMLY DIRECTED TO OTHER WEBSITES
The last thing you need to deal with is the security of your website that’s why I recommend you use a company like SUCURI. Software like that can really help you out because they’re experts at this, they know what to look for, and they know how to clean it up it’s very low cost.
If you try to do this on your own, it’s going to take a lot of time, effort, and energy. That time, effort, and energy be better spent running and marketing your business rather than figuring out how to fix your website. There are companies out there that can do this for you to save you all that time, trouble, hassle, and money.
