Stop losing traffic, revenue, and reputation to malware. Automated scanning detects every backdoor, injected script, and malicious payload — then cleans and restores your site in minutes instead of the industry-standard 4-72 hours.
WordPress powers 43% of the web — and gets 90% of CMS hacks. When a site gets hacked, the owner's options are: pay £200-£1,500 for manual cleaning (4-72 hour turnaround), attempt a risky DIY fix, or nuke the site and start over. Every hour of downtime bleeds traffic, revenue, and Google rankings.
Manual malware removal services take 4-72 hours. In that time, Google may blacklist the site, traffic drops to zero, and ecommerce revenue is completely lost. No automated recovery option exists.
Professional WordPress security services charge premium rates. Sucuri starts at £199/yr for monitoring — actual cleanup is extra. Wordfence care plans run £390/yr. Freelancers charge £100-£300/hr for emergency recovery.
A hacked site can be blacklisted within hours. Recovery from a Google "This site may be hacked" warning takes days to weeks — even after cleaning. Every day blacklisted = 100% organic traffic loss.
Manual cleaners miss backdoors 30% of the time. The site gets "cleaned," goes back online, and gets re-hacked within 48 hours through the same vulnerability. Repeat cleaning = repeat fees.
The average WordPress site owner doesn't know how to read PHP backdoors, scan a database for injected spam links, or identify obfuscated code. DIY recovery is a guessing game that usually makes things worse.
Agencies managing 50+ client sites face a constant drip of hacks. Each one requires emergency triage, manual investigation, client panic management, and expensive specialist intervention — burning billable hours and trust simultaneously.
WP Hack Recovery is the first fully automated WordPress malware detection and cleanup platform. Connect your site (FTP/SFTP or install the lightweight plugin), run a scan, and with one click — every backdoor, injection, and malicious modification is removed. The site is restored to a clean state with a complete audit trail.
Signature-based detection (90,000+ known malware signatures) plus behavioural analysis that spots zero-day obfuscation patterns. Scans core files, themes, plugins, uploads directory, wp-config.php, .htaccess, and the full MySQL database — in 3-8 minutes.
After scanning, review the findings — infected files, injected database rows, backdoor users — and click "Clean All." The platform surgically removes malicious code, restores modified core files from WordPress originals, and sanitises the database. No manual code editing required.
For sites with the monitoring plugin installed, revert to the last known-clean snapshot. Every file and database row is rolled back to its pre-hack state. Think Time Machine for WordPress — but for security incidents.
After cleaning, the platform automatically applies security hardening: changes salts and keys, removes unused themes/plugins, hardens wp-config.php, sets correct file permissions, disables file editing in admin, and installs brute-force protection — so the same attack vector doesn't work twice.
After cleaning, the platform generates a Google Search Console-ready reconsideration request with audit evidence. Guides the site owner through verification and submission — cutting the blacklist recovery time from weeks to days.
Agencies get a single dashboard showing security status across all client sites. Bulk scan, bulk clean, white-label reports for clients, and automated monthly security audits. One operator can manage 200+ sites — no specialist security training needed.
The scanner detects and removes every major WordPress attack vector, from simple defacements to sophisticated multi-vector intrusions.
150+ comments analysed across WordPress security, freelance web dev, and agency management YouTube channels. The signal is strong: hacked WordPress sites are a recurring, expensive emergency with no good automated solution.
Conservative projections based on £29/mo individual plan and £199/mo agency plan, with per-incident recovery at £79. Comparable services (Sucuri, Wordfence, MalCare) validate the price point and market demand.

Everything you need to know about the WordPress Hack Recovery SaaS.
It's an automated security platform for WordPress sites. When a site gets hacked, you connect it to the platform (via FTP/SFTP or by installing a lightweight plugin). The scanner detects every piece of malware — backdoors, injected code, database spam, hidden users, .htaccess redirects — across the entire site. With one click, it surgically removes all malicious code, restores modified core files to originals, sanitises the database, applies security hardening, and generates a Google blacklist removal request. Total time: 10-20 minutes. Manual equivalent: 4-72 hours and £200-£1,500.
Wordfence detects problems but doesn't clean them — it tells you there's malware and leaves the removal to you. Sucuri provides manual cleaning as a service, which takes hours and costs hundreds. WP Hack Recovery automates the entire detect→clean→restore→harden pipeline. It's the difference between a smoke detector (Wordfence) and a firefighter robot that puts out the fire, repairs the damage, and fireproofs the building — all in minutes.
Every action is logged. The platform creates a pre-clean snapshot (file manifest + database dump) before any changes are made. If something unexpected occurs, one click reverts to the pre-clean state. For sites running the monitoring plugin, you can restore to any historical clean snapshot — like Time Machine for WordPress security.
Three tiers: (1) Individual WordPress site owners — £29/mo for continuous monitoring and instant recovery when hacked. (2) Freelance developers — £79/mo for up to 10 sites, so they can offer hack recovery as a service without doing manual cleanup. (3) Agencies — £199/mo for up to 20 sites, plus white-label reporting so they can resell recovery to clients at their own price point. Plus web hosts who want to offer self-serve recovery as a value-add to their hosting plans.
