WordPress site hacked? I clean it.
By hand, usually within 24 hours.

Hacked, blacklisted, or buried in spam injections? I remove the malware, backdoors and bloat by hand, then harden the site so it stays clean. Fixed pricing from ₹7,000, most sites done in 24–48 hours.

  • ₹7,000 starting price
  • 24–48h typical turnaround
  • 80+ sites cleaned
  • <2% reinfection rate
  • 5.0 from 33 Google reviews

The short answer

This is a fixed-price WordPress malware removal service by Shezad Ali Khan, a Mumbai-based WordPress developer with 80+ hacked sites cleaned and a reinfection rate under 2%. A single-site malware cleanup costs ₹7,000 one-time; cleaning plus full security hardening costs ₹12,000. Most sites are clean within 24–48 hours of hosting access. The price includes manual removal of backdoors and injected scripts, Google blacklist review requests, and a verified clean backup. The diagnostic and the fixed quote come before any work begins, free.

What do you actually clean?

There are six parts to the job. Automated scanners find some of the problem. I read the code, clear all of it, then close the door that let it in.

  • 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, so I read the code as well as the scan report.

  • 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.

  • 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 check that the SERP is clean.

  • Bloat & performance cleanup

    Orphaned plugins, dead themes, transient and revision buildup, oversized media, and page-builder cruft. The site ends up lighter and faster as well as safe.

  • 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.

  • 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.

How does it work?

Diagnostic to clean handoff.

  1. 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 a straight answer and a fixed quote before any work starts.

  2. Clean

    I take a snapshot, then remove the malware manually across files and database. I don't delete everything and hope; I isolate what is malicious and leave the rest of your site intact. Most single-site cleans finish inside 24–48 hours.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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, so you know the number before any work begins. There is no hourly billing. For how this compares to plugins, global services and other Indian specialists, see the full market comparison linked below.

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. Nobody can speed that part up, 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?

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.

Do you work with clients outside Mumbai?

Yes. Cleanup is remote work, so location makes no difference to the fix. I am based in Mumbai (Jogeshwari West) and work with clients across India and internationally. Being in IST helps if you are elsewhere in India: the diagnostic usually happens the same working day rather than overnight. Invoices are in rupees with GST for Indian clients.

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. The standard of work is the same, set up for volume and retainers.

What does it cost?

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.
