Our Drupal emergency rescue services include
Repairing hacked website and removing malware
According to studies, 30 000 websites are hacked every day. If you have noticed suspicious activity such as spam links, sudden changes in traffic flow, or a server being used in an unusual way, your website probably has been attacked by cybercriminals. In this case, it is recommended to deal with the problem immediately since malicious activity on your site may keep away potential customers and even destroy your website completely.
Fixing web host misconfigurations
A web server can determine your project's success. Choice of the web host and its configuration affects the entire website, including its performance, security, SEO, etc. Misconfiguration in web hosting can lead to slow website speed, hacker attacks, lower your position in search engine ranking, and even throw out your website from the search engine results. We will help you to get rid of those problems by improving your hosting configurations.
Drupal WSOD fixing
A White Screen Of Death is a common problem that may occur after updating Drupal core, modules, or themes. If the content has suddenly disappeared from one of your pages and you are only able to see a white screen, you may consider using our hot bug fixing service to avoid losing customers.
Patching security vulnerabilities
In case of a hacker threat, we recommend performing a website security audit. While auditing the website, our team will locate security loopholes and patch them. Security maintenance requires less time and financial resources than rescuing the website in case of a cyber attack. To protect your website, you should track security trends and regularly update the system.
AWG crisis management system
Alpha Web Group has developed a 4-step crisis management system, which allows preventing and efficiently dealing with website crashes.
1. Predicting
Thanks to our rich experience in Drupal development, we can predict potential crises and avoid risks. We recommend that code review and testing be performed regularly to give a fresh set of eyes on the project. This will help identify latent bugs and errors before the product gets to the next stage of development.
2. Preventing
To avoid website crashes, we recommend both elimination of all detected errors, even latent ones not affecting the website’s performance yet, and regular updates of drupal modules, themes, and core. Those actions will prevent probable crises and minimize development costs in a long-term perspective.
3. Planning
We have a rescue plan for the most common crisis scenario. It allows us to act quickly in case of emergency and minimize the time needed to develop and take rescue actions.
4. Acting
In case of a crisis, we bring the website back to life by reversing it to its previous backed-up version, so it continues functioning. Then we analyze the website and search for the root of the problem to be fixed. Once it has been found, we develop a solution and implement changes.

Our Drupal emergency rescue process
- Audit
At a primary stage of website rescue, we perform a comprehensive system audit to detect the reason behind the website crash. Our team analyzes the issue, studies its roots, and assigns degrees of severity. We provide the client with the result of a website audit, presenting the source of the website errors, and develop a rescue plan that will fix the problem in the most efficient way. - Recovery
As soon as the error is detected, we quarantine damaged files and recover the website by reversing it to its previous version. This way, the website can function until the source of the problem is fixed. The whole process is completed within 24h. Such an approach helps to minimize website downtime and not lose potential customers. Then, we start the redevelopment of the website's weak points that caused issues. We eliminate the source of the problem, which allows us to minimize the risk of their recurrence. - Testing
Before implementing any changes, we perform a code review and smoke testing to ensure the entire system will run smoothly after changes are implemented. While performing an audit, our team will also check if any additional improvements can be made to boost website performance. - Delivery and Post-Delivery Support
If the test confirms excellent operation of the website, the developer implements changes to the system. After the final product is delivered to the customer, we supply post-emergency website support. To protect the website's health and prevent security issues in the future, we provide the company with employee training on how to manage the system as well as informing of new security updates as soon as they have been released.
