Service / 06 · WordPress Cleaning
WordPress cleaning service. Malware gone. Site fast again.
Hacked, blacklisted, or buried in spam injections? I clean it by hand — malware, backdoors, and bloat removed — then harden it so it stays clean. Fixed pricing from ₹7,000, most sites done in 24–48 hours.

What I clean / 02
Six things, done properly.
Automated scanners find some of it. I read the code and clear all of it — then close the door that let it in. For multi-site cleanups and managed protection at scale, my agency runs a WordPress malware removal service.
-
01
Malware & backdoor removal
Full file-system and database scan, then manual removal of injected scripts, backdoors, web shells, and rogue admin users. Automated scanners miss the hand-planted stuff — I read the code, not just the report.
-
02
Blacklist & warning recovery
Sites flagged by Google Safe Browsing, "deceptive site ahead" warnings, host suspensions, or Search Console security issues. I clean the cause, then file the review request so the flag actually clears.
-
03
Spam & SEO-injection cleanup
Japanese keyword hacks, pharma spam, hidden link farms, and cloaked redirects that only fire for Googlebot. Removed from files, database, and sitemap — then I confirm the SERP is clean.
-
04
Bloat & performance cleanup
Orphaned plugins, dead themes, transient and revision buildup, oversized media, and page-builder cruft. The site gets lighter and faster, not just safe.
-
05
Hardening against reinfection
File permissions, admin lockdown, login protection, disabled file editing, updated core/plugins/themes, and a firewall rule set. Cleaning without hardening just resets the clock.
-
06
Clean backup & handoff
A verified clean backup, a short report of what was found and removed, and plain-language notes on what to keep patched. You get a site you can trust again.
Pricing / 03
Fixed prices. No hourly.
Every job is quoted flat after a quick diagnostic. You know the number before I touch anything. Prices below are starting points for a single WordPress site.

A single infected WordPress site that needs the malware gone fast.
- → Full file + database scan
- → Manual malware & backdoor removal
- → Google blacklist review request

02
Clean + Harden
Sites that have been hit more than once, or that carry real revenue.

- → Full security hardening pass
- → Login & admin lockdown
- → Firewall rule set
- → Core / plugin / theme updates

Bigger than a single site — a network of installs, a multisite, or an ongoing managed plan with SLAs? That runs through my agency’s WordPress malware removal service.
How it works / 04
Diagnostic to clean handoff.
-
01
Diagnostic
Send me the URL and hosting access. Within a few hours I confirm what you are dealing with — the type of infection, how it got in, and whether Google has flagged you. You get an honest read and a fixed quote before any work starts.
-
02
Clean
I take a snapshot, then remove the malware manually across files and database. No "delete everything and hope" — I isolate what is malicious and leave your site intact. Most single-site cleans finish inside 24–48 hours.
-
03
Harden
Once the site is clean, I close the door that let the attacker in — permissions, logins, outdated plugins, file-edit access, and a firewall rule set. This is the step most cheap "cleanups" skip, which is why they get reinfected.
-
04
Verify & hand off
I re-scan, request the Google review where needed, and confirm the SERP and Search Console are clean. You get a verified backup, a findings report, and clear notes on staying patched.
FAQ / 05
Hacked-site questions, answered.
- How much does WordPress cleaning cost? +
- A single-site malware cleanup starts at ₹7,000 as a one-time fee. Sites that need full hardening or that have been reinfected before start at ₹12,000. Every job is quoted as a fixed price after a quick diagnostic — you know the number before any work begins, and there is no hourly billing.
- How long does it take to clean a hacked WordPress site? +
- Most single-site infections are cleaned within 24 to 48 hours of getting hosting access. Google blacklist and Safe Browsing reviews can take an extra 24 to 72 hours on Google’s side after I submit the request — that part is out of anyone’s hands, but I file it correctly so it clears the first time.
- Google is showing a "deceptive site ahead" warning. Can you remove it? +
- Yes. That warning comes from Google Safe Browsing flagging malicious code on your site. I remove the underlying malware and injected scripts, then file the review request through Search Console. The warning clears once Google re-crawls and confirms the site is clean — usually within a couple of days of the fix.
- Will cleaning break my site or lose my content? +
- No. I take a full snapshot before touching anything, then remove malicious code surgically rather than wiping and rebuilding. Your pages, posts, media, and settings stay in place. If a plugin or theme is too compromised to clean safely, I replace it with a clean copy of the same version and tell you exactly what changed.
- How do I stop it from getting hacked again? +
- Cleaning without hardening just resets the clock. Every clean includes a hardening pass — file permissions, admin lockdown, disabled file editing, updated core and plugins, and a firewall rule set. Most reinfections trace back to an outdated plugin or a shared password, so the monthly protection plan exists for owners who would rather not manage that themselves.
- Do you clean sites for agencies and other developers? +
- Regularly. A good share of this work comes from agencies and freelancers whose client site got hit, or who inherited a compromised install from a previous developer. White-labelled where needed, with a report you can pass straight to your client.
- What if the job is bigger than one site, or needs an ongoing plan? +
- For multi-site cleanups, larger malware removal engagements, and managed WordPress protection with SLAs, my agency runs a dedicated service — see the TNXN WordPress malware removal page linked below. Same standard of work, built for volume and retainers.
