Tool

Spam & hack check for websites

Checks a domain with evidence for malicious redirects (spam/phishing/jmtouch), cloaking & the Japanese Keyword Hack, injected/obfuscated code and spam content – with proof and deliberately low false positives.

Checked as: DesktopMobileGooglebotSearch referrerSitemap

Result

Enter a domain above and click "Check". You can also start the check directly via link: htprotect.org/en/spamcheck?domain=example.com

Evidence from authoritative sources

These checks open the original results from Google & established scanners for the checked domain – the clear evidence. For the Japanese Keyword Hack, Google\u0027s index is the gold standard.

How reliable is this?

The scanner reports a finding only with concrete evidence (the redirect chain, the cloaking content served to Googlebot, the injected code). Clean sites therefore stay clean – false positives are the exception. Honestly: no remote scanner detects absolutely everything; cleverly IP-bound cloaking can hide. That is why we check several request profiles and additionally point to Google\u0027s index as the gold standard.

If something is found
An update alone does not remove an existing hack. The site must be professionally cleaned, the entry point closed and all passwords changed. Typical entry points: the vulnerabilities documented here. For professional help, find a specialist in the Joomla Service Providers Directory.

Please scan only your own domains or domains you are explicitly authorised to test. The scanner only retrieves publicly accessible pages – just as Googlebot does.
