2. Request a Spyware Review

If you want Google to review your WordPress website for you against spyware, malware and all kinds of malicious software that hackers use to hurt your Google ranking, then request a Google review by checking into the security issues report in GSC. When I checked mine, see the result I got below:



Alternatively, you can do a "Sucuri SiteCheck" to see if your WordPress site has been hacked. The tool will instantly give a detailed report stating whether your site has been hacked or not. For instance, see the process of scanning my site against malware using this tool in the image below:

Below is the result of my site scan:


The Sucuri Scanner will run through the files on your site and detect any form of spyware, Trojan Horse, Malware, Viruses or other malicious software.

3. Figure Out How You Got Hacked

Once you've detected some spyware on your WordPress site, find out how it got in there, what you actually did wrong, and where you're lacking in the area of protection and security. You should ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I have harmful links on my WordPress site?
  • Are my pages being pointed to another WordPress website?
  • Has Google blemished my WordPress site as "Insecure"?

It's high time you went back to your web hosting service provider once you've found out where the problem is and you've figured out accurate answers to all of the questions set above.
