Check Your Landing Page for Compromise Signals
Scan a landing page for common surface-level signals that can contribute to a Google Ads “Compromised site” or destination-security problem—such as suspicious redirects, hidden iframes, unusual script patterns, mixed content and unexpected third-party code.
Scan your Google Ads landing page
Enter the exact final URL used in your Google Ads campaign. The checker fetches one public page and reviews several common technical signals. It does not log in to your website or modify anything.
Important: this is a limited surface scan, not a malware-removal service and not a Google Safe Browsing or Search Console lookup. A clean result does not guarantee Google Ads approval.
Useful signals for a compromised-site investigation
Page availability
Checks whether the submitted destination responds successfully and returns readable HTML.
Redirect behavior
Looks for meta-refresh behavior and other page-level clues that deserve review.
Hidden iframes
Flags hidden or zero-size iframe patterns that can be legitimate but are also worth investigating.
Script obfuscation
Looks for combinations of common JavaScript obfuscation-style patterns without automatically labeling them malware.
Third-party scripts
Counts external script domains so you can confirm that integrations are known and intentional.
Mixed content & forms
Highlights HTTP resources on HTTPS pages and forms that submit to another domain.
What does “Compromised site” mean in Google Ads?
Google describes a compromised site as a destination whose code has been manipulated to benefit a third party without the website owner’s knowledge, often in a way that can harm users. Examples include injected scripts, malware, unauthorized redirects, pop-ups, skimmers, or an exploited content-management system.
If Google Safe Browsing has identified unsafe content, Google recommends cleaning the website and using Google Search Console to address the security issue. After cleaning, Google’s current policy guidance says to allow up to 72 hours for the landing page to be re-crawled and re-evaluated.

Google Ads compromised-site recovery process
Confirm the exact policy issue
Open the affected ads and verify whether Google reports “Compromised site,” malicious software, destination not working, or another policy reason.
Review Search Console
Check the Security Issues report, Manual Actions, indexing behavior and unexpected URLs. Look for warnings about hacked content or malware.
Audit the website and server
Inspect CMS core files, themes, plugins, admin users, scheduled tasks, redirects, injected scripts, database content and hosting logs.
Remove the root cause
Delete malicious code, patch vulnerabilities, update software, remove unauthorized access, rotate credentials and harden the environment.
Re-test the final URL
Confirm the landing page loads consistently, stays on the intended domain and no longer contains suspicious behavior across desktop and mobile.
Request the correct review
After the destination is clean, follow the relevant Search Console or Google Ads review path and give Google time to re-crawl the site.
Why a website can look normal but still trigger Google Ads
Outdated CMS or plugins
A vulnerable WordPress plugin, theme or other CMS component can be exploited even when the visible homepage still looks normal.
Conditional redirects
Malicious code can redirect only certain devices, countries, referrers or crawlers, making the problem difficult to reproduce manually.
Injected JavaScript
Attackers may inject scripts into templates, tag managers, database content, widgets or compromised third-party resources.
Hidden spam pages
Hacked sites may generate doorway, pharma, casino or other spam URLs that are not linked visibly from the main navigation.
Unauthorized admin access
Compromised credentials can allow an attacker to create users, install plugins, modify files or change tracking code.
Unsafe external resources
A third-party script or embedded resource can become compromised even when your own website files have not changed.
Google Ads Compromised Site Checker FAQ
Is this the same as Google Safe Browsing?
No. This AARSWEBS tool performs a limited surface-level scan of the submitted public page. It does not query Google Safe Browsing, Search Console, server files, databases or every URL on the domain.
Can this checker guarantee that my website is clean?
No. Malware can be conditional, server-side, database-driven, cloaked by geography or user agent, or hidden on other URLs. A professional server and website security review may still be required.
Can a site look normal and still be disapproved for Compromised site?
Yes. Injected code can execute only for certain visitors or crawlers, while the site appears normal to the owner. Hidden pages, scripts, redirects and compromised third-party resources can also be involved.
What should I do after I remove the malicious code?
Re-check Search Console security issues, verify the final Google Ads destination again, and use the appropriate Google review path. Google may need time to re-crawl and re-evaluate the destination.
Should I create a new Google Ads account to avoid the issue?
No. A replacement account does not fix a compromised destination and should not be used to evade an unresolved Google Ads policy restriction. Fix the website and address the original policy issue.
Can AARSWEBS perform a deeper Google Ads suspension review?
Yes. Our Google Ads suspension service reviews the policy notice, account history, website, destination, security signals and other relevant compliance issues, then prepares case-specific corrective steps.
Still seeing “Compromised site” after cleaning the website?
AARSWEBS can review the Google Ads policy notice, landing page, website security signals, redirects, technical setup and prior appeals as part of a structured suspension review.
