Is my website hacked?
A hacked site usually looks normal: it is not broken, it is quietly used. The check looks for traces Google sees and the owner does not.
Signs of a hacked website
Key signs: casino, betting or pill links appeared in the code; Google or an antivirus warns about the site; an .env file or a database dump is public; pages load scripts from unknown hosts. If you find even one, change admin and hosting passwords and update the CMS.
Frequently asked questions
The site works fine. Could it be hacked?
Yes. Hacks for SEO spam or mailing do not change the design: the links are hidden from the owner and shown only to crawlers.
What do I do if the site is hacked?
Back up the site, change every password and key, update the CMS and plugins, remove foreign files and links, then ask Google to review the site in Search Console.
Does this replace a site antivirus?
No. We see what is visible from outside. Infected files on the server are found only by a server scan from your host or a specialist.
More quick checks
Website blacklist check
Find out whether Google flags the site as dangerous and whether the domain is on a spam list. That is why Chrome shows a red screen and emails land in spam.
SSL certificate checker
Days until the certificate expires, who issued it and whether everything around it is set: redirect, HSTS, images and scripts without https.
Domain check: age and expiry
Registration date, expiry date and email protection. A young domain worries buyers, an expired one takes down the site and email.
Who hosts this website
Server, country, CDN and site engine. For Kazakhstan and Russia it is also a legal question: customer data must stay inside the country.
Schema markup and rich results checker
Stars, price, availability, FAQs and breadcrumbs in results come from markup. The check shows which types you have and which required fields are missing.
sitemap.xml and robots.txt checker
The sitemap tells Google which pages to crawl. The check opens URLs from it and shows broken, redirected and blocked pages.
Meta tags checker: title and description
The page title and description show in Google results. The check walks through the site’s pages and finds empty, long and duplicated ones.
Can ChatGPT see your website?
More people ask ChatGPT and Perplexity instead of Google. The check shows whether the site lets their crawlers in and whether answers are easy to take from it.
