    Performance Rebuild

    Malware slows sites long before it's found. After the cleanup we rebuild caching, tune the database and repair Core Web Vitals — most sites come back faster than before the hack.

The Element8 guarantee

Cleanup is
the easy part.
Staying clean is the service.

Most cleaned WordPress sites are reinfected within weeks — the malware was removed, the cause wasn't. Our model is different: we fix the site, take over the hosting and guard it for 12 months, with updates, scans, monitoring, backups and performance under one SLA. And the risk is ours on both ends: if we can't get your site verified clean, we refund the cleanup fee — and if it is compromised again under our care, we fix it again, no new invoice.

DISCRETION & DELIVERY

Handled with discretion, delivered with proof.

Confidential handling

Breaches are sensitive. NDAs on request, discreet communication, and no public mention of your incident — ever.

Staging-first, backup-always

Full backups before anything is touched and every fix rehearsed on a staging copy — your live site is never the experiment.

Evidence & reports

What was infected, how they got in, what we removed and what we hardened — documented in a report you can hand to management.

AED invoicing

UAE commercial terms, VAT handling and delivery from Dubai.

Response you can time

Triage the same day, containment within hours, most sites verified clean within 48 — with progress updates on WhatsApp.

Your site stays yours

Full admin, code and content ownership stays with you — documented access, exportable backups, no lock-in.

OUR PROCESS

From infection to immunity in six controlled steps.

Step 01

Triage

Same-day scan and forensics: what's infected, how they got in, what's at risk — scoped with you on WhatsApp.

Step 02

Contain

Full backup taken, a staging copy spun up, credentials rotated and the attacker's access cut off.

Step 03

Clean

Every file and database table swept: malware, backdoors, webshells, spam links and rogue admins removed.

Step 04

Repair

Core reinstalled, plugins updated or replaced, custom code fixed, PHP upgraded, performance rebuilt.

Step 05

Restore

Google warnings lifted, clean URLs re-indexed, the site verified clean and returned to full service.

Step 06

Guard

Migrated to our hardened hosting: 12 months of scans, updates, backups, monitoring and SLA support.

Track record

Trusted with uptime that matters.

The team that runs your recovery already guards enterprise platforms under long-term SLAs — web infrastructure, security and hosting for some of the region's biggest names.

FAQ

Quick answers
to slow objections.

01My site is hacked right now — how fast can you start?+

Same day. Send your domain and what you're seeing on WhatsApp or the form below — we triage within hours, take a full backup, and begin containment and cleanup immediately.

02What does the cleanup actually include?+

A full scan of every file and database table, removal of injected scripts, backdoors, webshells, rogue admin users and spam links, reinstallation of core, plugins and themes from clean sources, repair of your custom code, and rotation of every credential.

03Google flagged our site — can you remove the warning?+

Yes. Once the site is verified clean we file reconsideration and Safe Browsing review requests, repair the sitemap and indexing, and monitor Search Console until the warnings are lifted.

04What if the site gets hacked again?+

If a site under our 12-month care plan is compromised again, we clean and repair it again — covered by the plan, no new invoice. That guarantee is why the plan includes hardening, monitoring and updates, not just hosting.

05What if you can't fix it?+

In 15 years we haven't met a WordPress infection we couldn't clean — but if we ever can't get your site verified clean, we refund the cleanup fee in full. Starting costs you nothing but the call.

06Do we have to move hosting to you?+

It's the model we recommend — we migrate the site to a hardened stack we manage for 12 months, with server, SSL, DNS, staging and daily off-site backups under one SLA. If you must stay with your current host, we can harden and monitor there instead.

07Will the site go down during the cleanup?+

No. We work staging-first: full backups before anything is touched, fixes rehearsed on a copy, then deployed to live in a controlled pass. Your visitors keep browsing while we work.

08What's included in the 12-month care plan?+

Managed hosting and server administration, daily malware scans, file-integrity, uptime and SSL monitoring, a web application firewall, core and plugin updates, daily off-site backups, performance optimisation and priority support under SLA.

09Do you handle WooCommerce, multilingual and custom builds?+

Yes — WooCommerce stores, WPML and Arabic RTL sites, Elementor and WPBakery builds, and fully custom themes. Fifteen years of building and running WordPress at enterprise scale means very little surprises us.

10Will the hack hurt our SEO permanently?+

Not if it's handled properly. We remove spam pages and redirects, return correct status codes for injected URLs, request re-indexing and monitor Search Console — most sites recover their positions after a verified cleanup.

11Why Element8 for this?+

We've run web infrastructure for 15 years — hosting, security and uptime SLAs for listed companies, government entities and major brands across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Malware recovery is our security and DevOps practice applied to your site.
