SECURITY FINDING

Unauthorized redirect via a meta refresh tag

What it is

The home page automatically redirects visitors to another URL via a meta refresh tag. If you didn't set this up, it's a common symptom of a hacked site sending your traffic to spam, ads or phishing pages.

How to fix it

If you didn't add this redirect on purpose, remove it. If you're not sure, install the WordPress Plugin and run AI Repair to clean it safely (with an automatic backup and rollback).
