FAQ
How long does WordPress malware removal take?
Most single-site cleanups finish inside 4 to 8 hours. Reinfecting shared-hosting accounts with multiple sites take a weekend of coordinated work. I clean the whole account, not one site at a time.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if it's done properly. I preserve URLs, canonicals, and structured data, submit reconsideration requests where needed, and clear Search Console manual actions. Most sites recover rankings within two to four weeks.
How did the site get infected?
Almost always an outdated plugin, a nulled theme, or a shared-hosting neighbour. The written report tells you the exact vector and the change that closes it.
Do you guarantee no reinfection?
14-day reinfection guarantee. If malware returns within 14 days from the same or a related vector, I re-clean at no cost.
Do I need to change hosting?
Usually no. Sometimes yes. Cheap shared hosting with lax neighbour isolation reinfects itself. I'll tell you honestly which case you're in.
