Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Denis, founder of CloakScan.
Here's the real story behind why I built this.
I've been working with WordPress for 14 years — including as an
official WordPress theme reviewer. I know this ecosystem inside out.
Three months ago, I discovered — almost by accident — that 4 of my
own WordPress sites had been hacked and cloaked. Attackers had
injected hidden content that only search engines could see. Google
had indexed over 2,500 spam pages under my domains. My visitors saw
nothing wrong. I saw nothing wrong. Only Googlebot knew.
The cleanup took weeks. The SEO damage took much longer to recover.
Years of work, rankings, and reputation — damaged by something
completely invisible to the human eye.
The worst part? There was no simple, fast way to catch this early.
I had to piece together curl commands, GSC reports, and manual
renders just to understand what had happened. No single tool gave me
a clear picture in seconds.
So I built CloakScan. Paste a URL, see exactly what Google sees
vs. what users see, get a risk score in seconds. The tool I wish I
had three months ago.
If you manage WordPress sites — especially for clients — please try it.
It takes 30 seconds and requires nothing but a URL.
Happy to answer any questions!
