Hello everyone! I’m part of this incredible community and wanted to share my case — and ask for support.
The site otimizaçãosites.com.br was infected by malware, and the situation was quite serious. On Google Search, the site displayed strange titles and descriptions — many with Chinese characters. In Google Search Console, there were over 100,000 non-indexed pages, a clear sign of a malware redirect infection.
I scanned the site using MalCare, which confirmed the infection.
After running the plugin, it found and cleaned over 40 malicious .htaccess files. After the cleanup:
✅ MalCare stopped flagging the site as infected ✅ Google started indexing internal pages and blog posts again
But… the homepage is still not indexed, even though everything seems to be back to normal.
The homepage is clean, has proper canonical tags, is listed in the sitemap, and returns a 200 status — but still doesn’t appear in Google’s results, even after more than a week.
Also, some strange links with Chinese characters still appear on Google when searching for site:otimizasites.com.br.
I’ve already made a donation and plan to continue supporting, because your work is really helping me.
I see your homepage in your sitemap and there is nothing in your robots.txt file to prevent indexing that page, so I’m would guess that Google just has not refreshed their own cached index of that URL yet. I also still see one listing in the Google search results for your site that shows the Chinese characters you were talking about, but that links to a 404 on your site, so it should also fall out of the search index in time (whenever Google gets around to rechecking the cache they have of that page and see that it is now a 404).
It looks to me like you have done everything right and the site look clean now, so it is just a matter of getting Google to finish updating their indexes of your site. There should be a way for you to request a review of those pages in your Google Console (Webmaster Tools) account. You can try the manual process of “Fetch as Googlebot” to verify that the Chinese character page does actually render a 404 for the Googlebot when you test that URL, and you can also test the root URL to make sure that Google can fetch your homepage without errors. That will at least confirm that this is just a waiting game.
