There are cases when immediate intervention is required to save a Joomla website. A website containing a virus or malware code is detected by search engine robots (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.) and is not recommended or they even block it from being viewed by their users. If the compromising, harmful line of code on a webpage persists for several days, most search engines apply sanctions, penalties, and ranking drop .
Ranking drop can also happen if the website is damaged or contains incorrect data, does not display properly or does not work. In such cases, it is not worth delaying because even material damage or loss of income can happen from these serious mistakes.
