What this is
WordPress security services remove malware from an infected site, close the hole that let it in, and clear the warnings a hack leaves behind. That means cleaning files and database, hardening the login, and getting your site off Google and host blacklists.
Here is the part most cleanup services skip. Removing the infected files takes an afternoon. Finding how the attacker got in takes longer, and skipping it is why so many sites get hit twice in a month. We read the logs every time. Once your site is clean, you may want someone watching it. That is a WordPress care plan, and it is a different job to this one.

What our WordPress security service covers
Eight areas. The first four deal with the infection, the last four deal with everything it left behind.
What a real WordPress cleanup looks like
Five stages, in this order. Skipping the second one is why sites get reinfected. If your site is clean but slow, that is our WordPress speed optimization service instead.
The cleanup
Every infected file, not just the ones a scanner names
Scanners find the obvious payload and miss the backdoor. We compare every core file against the official WordPress release, read the theme and plugin files by hand, and check the database for injected rows.
- Core files compared against the official release
- Theme and plugin files read, not just scanned
- Database checked for injected posts and options
- Every backdoor removed, not only the payload
- Your site stays online while we work
Root cause
We find the door before we close it
A cleanup with no cause is a cleanup you pay for twice. We read the access logs back to the first strange request and name the way in. Usually it is one outdated plugin or one reused password.
- Access and error logs read back to the first sign
- The exact plugin, theme or account named
- Every admin account reviewed and stale ones removed
- All passwords and security keys rotated
- Backup dates checked, so you do not restore it back
Hardening
The changes that stop it happening twice
Most WordPress sites are broken into through the login form or an outdated plugin. Both are cheap to close. We apply the changes, then confirm your site still works exactly as it did.
- Two-factor login on every administrator account
- Repeated login attempts blocked automatically
- File editing turned off inside the dashboard
- PHP execution blocked in the uploads folder
- Checkout, forms and logins tested after every change
Reputation
Getting the red warning off your site
A Google Safe Browsing warning costs you nearly every visitor while it is up. Once the site is clean we file the review request and answer any follow-up. Most warnings clear inside three days.
- Google Safe Browsing review requested and tracked
- Search Console security issues answered properly
- Host suspension appealed with the cleanup report
- Blacklist status rechecked until every list is clear
- Email deliverability checked, because it drops too
Search damage
The damage that outlives the malware
We have cleaned this up on our own site. More than 1,500 spam links pointed at pages an attacker had injected into a demo store. Removing the files was the easy half. The search damage took longer.
- Injected spam pages found and removed for good
- Hidden links and cloaked redirects stripped from templates
- Spam URLs removed from the index, then recrawled
- Toxic backlinks reviewed and a disavow file prepared
- Rankings tracked for 30 days after the cleanup
WordPress malware removal pricing
One price, agreed after we look and before we start. No hourly meter running while your store is down.
Emergency malware removal
One site, cleaned and handed back with a written report on what was infected and how they got in. Started within hours, usually finished the same day.
Cleanup and hardening
The cleanup, plus we close the way in. Two-factor login, file permissions, rotated keys, stale accounts removed and blacklist review requests filed.
WordPress security audit
No infection, just a check. A written review of users, plugins, permissions, server settings and backups, ranked by real risk, not by scanner noise.
Store or multisite cleanup
WooCommerce stores and multisite networks carry customer data and payment flows, so the work is slower and the testing is heavier.
A site infected for months costs more than one caught last night, because there is more to unpick. Send the URL and we quote after a look.
Seven steps, starting within hours
Step five is the one that decides whether you are here again next month.
-
01
Send us access
Hosting and WordPress logins. No form to fill in first. We reply in hours, not on the next business day.
-
02
We take our own backup
A copy of the infected site before we touch anything, so nothing is lost and the evidence survives.
-
03
Scan, then read
Automated comparison against official releases first, then a human reads what the tools flagged and what they missed.
-
04
Clean and remove backdoors
Infected files cleaned or replaced, injected database rows removed, and every backdoor closed.
-
05
Close the way in
The entry point is patched, keys and passwords rotated, and hardening applied so the same route does not work twice.
-
06
Clear the warnings
Review requests filed with Google and your host, then chased until every blacklist shows clear.
-
07
Report and watch
A written handover, then 30 days of scanning at no extra cost. If it comes back in that window, we clean it free.
Sites we clean most
Being hacked is not a sign you did something stupid. Most of these sites were just running one plugin too long.
WooCommerce stores
Customer data and card flows raise the stakes. A flagged store loses the sale and the trust in one visit.
Business sites flagged by Google
The red warning screen stops nearly every visitor. Getting it removed is the first job, not the last.
Blogs full of injected pages
Hundreds of spam URLs indexed under your domain, usually selling something you would never sell.
Agencies with a client site down
We work quietly in the background under your name and hand you a report you can forward as it is.
Sites hit more than once
A second infection means the first cleanup missed a backdoor. That is the case we are built for.
Multisite networks
One compromised site in a network can reach the rest. Every site gets checked, not only the one that showed symptoms.
A WordPress security company that reads the code
Anyone can run a scanner. The value is in knowing what the scanner found and what it walked straight past.
We have been the customer here
Our own demo store was hit and used to host injected product pages. We cleaned it, traced the source and dealt with the search damage. That is why this page talks about the aftermath.
Developers, not a scanner subscription
We write 26 WordPress and WooCommerce plugins. We can read the injected code, work out what it does, and tell you exactly what it touched.
We answer while it is still urgent
A hacked site loses money every hour it stays hacked. You get a real reply in hours and a developer on it the same day, not a ticket number.
One price, agreed first
We look at the site before quoting, then the price is fixed. No hourly meter running while your store is down, and no upsell into a plan you did not ask for.
No lock-in after the fix
The cleanup is a one-off job that ends. If you want us watching afterwards a care plan exists, but the cleanup does not depend on buying one.
We care what happens to your rankings
Most cleanup services stop at the files. Injected pages, hidden links and a Safe Browsing flag keep costing you traffic for months. We handle that part too.
A security plugin, your host, or a developer
All three have a place. Here is where each one stops being enough.
| Factor | Security plugin | Host cleanup service | DevDiggers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $0 – $99 / yr | $150 – $300 per cleanup | $149 – $699 per cleanup |
| Finds the payload | Usually yes | Yes | Yes |
| Finds every backdoor | Often misses them | Sometimes | Files read by hand, not only scanned |
| Names how they got in | No | Rarely | Always, from the logs |
| Fixes the search damage | No | No | Spam pages, links and blacklists |
| Best for | Preventing the next one | A simple, obvious infection | A repeat infection or a store |

FAQ
WordPress security, answered
The questions people ask us at two in the morning, answered here instead.
Get My Site CleanedA single site cleanup runs $149 to $349. Cleanup plus hardening, which closes the way in, runs $349 to $699. WooCommerce stores and multisite networks start at $700 because there is more to test. We look at the site before quoting, and the price is fixed after that.
Most cleanups finish the same day we get access. A large store or a site infected for months can take two to three days. Google Safe Browsing warnings usually clear one to three days after we file the review, and that part is out of anyone control.
Yes, in almost every case. We work on the live site and take our own backup first. If an infection is actively harming visitors we will suggest a short maintenance page, but we ask you before doing it.
Nearly always one of three things. An outdated plugin or theme with a known hole, a weak or reused admin password, or another site on the same shared hosting account. We read your logs and tell you which one it was, instead of guessing.
Only if you know the backup is older than the infection, and most people do not. Sites are often compromised weeks before anything visible happens. Restoring a backup taken after that point puts the backdoor straight back. Check the dates first.
A good one helps, and we will set one up for you. Understand what it does though. A plugin is a smoke alarm, not a fire brigade. It is good at spotting changes and blocking login attempts, and poor at removing a backdoor someone already planted.
We scan your site for 30 days after the cleanup. If the same infection returns in that window we clean it again at no charge. That guarantee only works because we close the entry point, which is the step most cleanups skip.
Yes, and the damage outlasts the malware. Injected spam pages get indexed, hidden links point at sites you would never link to, and a Safe Browsing flag stops most visitors before they arrive. We deal with all three, not just the files.
Send us the URL and we will tell you what we see
A first look costs nothing. If your site is clean we will say so, and you will not hear from us again about it.
