How do I check if my website has been hacked?

Signs that your website may have been hacked include:

– Unexpected Redirects: Your website sends visitors to unrelated or spammy sites.
– Google Blacklisting Warning: Google displays a ‘This site may be hacked’ warning in search results.
– Suspicious Pop-ups or Ads: Unauthorized content appearing on your site.
– Defaced Website Pages: Hackers may replace your homepage with their own message.
– Spike in Server Usage: High resource consumption could indicate a malware infection.

To confirm, use malware scanners like Sucuri SiteCheck or Google Search Console’s security issues report. If hacked, immediately restore a backup, change passwords, and update software to close vulnerabilities.
