Active fire?
If the site is actively harming visitors, leaking data, or you are locked out of admin, call 423-888-0252 or 828-484-1257 now — do not wait on the form.
Who this is for
Owners and caretakers who just found a symptom (redirect, spam titles, unknown admin, host or Google warning) and need a calm first-day plan. Agencies and hosts who want a printable client-facing triage sheet. People not ready to buy cleanup tonight who still need a sane order of operations.
Honesty
Named principal: Avery Parker. Remote WordPress incident response nationwide when systems are reachable; onsite East TN / SW VA / Western NC. Written-report cleanup exists as published packages — see current IR package on site. This free sheet is education. It is not a substitute for Phase A cleanup after a real compromise, and it does not promise a cleanup timeline or ranking recovery date.
Same first-day framing in ebook form: Field guide on Kindle ($2.99). The free checklist on this page stays primary.
