Recovery and restoration of lost, crashed or destroyed WordPress sites

Host crash, wiped database, failed migration, destructive hack, accidental deletion: a "lost" WordPress site almost always has recoverable traces. Forgotten backups, Google cache, Wayback Machine, server logs: we explore the 4 sources and recover what we can.

What we explore in order

A loss that feels total almost always has at least one exploitable source. We systematically check all 4.

1️⃣ Host-side backups

Success probability: 70%. Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, GoDaddy, OVH keep automatic snapshots 7 to 30 days back, often forgotten by clients. First systematic check. Typical recovery in 1-2 h once the backup is identified.

2️⃣ WordPress plugin-side backups

Success probability: 50%. If you had UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, Duplicator, Jetpack VaultPress, archives may live in the cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, OneDrive). We check your mailbox for backup notifications sent by these plugins.

3️⃣ Google cache + Wayback Machine

Success probability: 40-80% of textual content. Textual indexing of each page via cache.google.com and archive.org/web. Useful to recover article, page and product content even if the database is gone. Limitations: no media, no user accounts, no commercial history.

4️⃣ Apache / Nginx server logs

Success probability: 20% for structure, 0% for content. Logs typically kept ~90 days. May contain old URLs, most-visited pages, past database queries. Enables us to rebuild the site tree and prioritise which pages to re-create first.

🎯 Recovery scenarios

Depending on what's still exploitable

Technical honesty: recovery chances depend entirely on what's left. Here are the 4 typical cases.

What's left Recovery rate Duration Estimated cost excl. VAT
Recent full backup (files + database) ~95% 1-4 h €60-240
Partial backup (files OK, old database or vice versa) 60-80% 1-3 days €200-800
No backup, recent Google + Wayback caches 20-40% 3-10 days €500-1500
Corrupted MySQL database to repair (innodb_force_recovery) Variable 1-4 weeks on quote

⚠️ Golden rule: the earlier the diagnostic, the higher the chances. Host backups expire fast (7-30 days), Google caches refresh (1-90 days per page).

"Lost site", it's not...

❌ Not a critical error

If WordPress displays "There has been a critical error", your site is broken but not lost — data is in the database, the application code is what's crashing. A less expensive dedicated page.

Critical error page → ❌ Not a simple hack

If your site is hacked but still online with its data, that's cleanup, not recovery. Recovery concerns sites where data has been deleted or corrupted.

Hacked site page → ❌ Not just "unreachable"

If your site is temporarily unreachable but your files and database are intact, that's downtime, not loss. The WooCommerce down page is more suitable.

❓ FAQ

WordPress recovery — frequently asked questions

Not necessarily. Four sources to explore: (1) Host backups (Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, GoDaddy, OVH keep 7-30 days, often forgotten). (2) WP plugin backups (UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, Duplicator, Jetpack VaultPress — cloud archives). (3) Google cache + Wayback Machine: textual indexing, recovers content even if database is lost. (4) Apache/Nginx server logs (90 days): old URLs, visited pages, database queries. Free diagnostic identifies what's recoverable.
Depends on available backups: (1) Recent full backup: ~95% recovery in a few hours. (2) Partial backup: 60-80% recovery, loss of recent data. (3) Recent Google + Wayback caches only: 20-40% recovery (textual content + structure, no media or user accounts). (4) No backup, no cache: recovery impossible. Golden rule: the earlier the diagnostic, the higher the chances — host backups expire fast (7-30 days).
Free diagnostic (45 min). Recovery on quote from €60/h excl. VAT. Typical scopes: (1) Backup restoration: 1-4 h, €60-240 excl. VAT. (2) Partial reconstruction: 8-25 h, €480-1500 excl. VAT. (3) Deep forensic (corrupted MySQL database, fragmented files): on quote, can exceed €2000 excl. VAT for extreme cases. Important: best-effort obligation, no result guarantee. If no source is exploitable, we tell you at diagnostic — no billing for nothing.
Not necessarily. To check: (1) Request written confirmation — level-1 support often doesn't know how to dig deep. (2) Plugin backups (UpdraftPlus, BackWPup) may sit in your Drive/Dropbox/S3. (3) Check your mailbox for automatic backup notifications. (4) Ask your previous webmaster if they have a local copy. (5) If everything fails: reconstruction mode from Google + Wayback caches — last option, works partially in 60% of cases.
Depending on complexity: (1) Restoration from clean backup: 1-4 h, same day. (2) Reconstruction with partial backup: 1-3 days. (3) Reconstruction from caches: 3-10 days depending on page count and cache quality. (4) Deep forensic (MySQL innodb_force_recovery): 1-4 weeks for extreme cases. ETA announced after the free diagnostic.
Four measures: (1) Daily backup of files + database to external storage (S3, Backblaze, Dropbox) — never on the same server. (2) Monthly restore test: an untested backup doesn't exist. (3) Git versioning of theme and custom plugins. (4) 5-min uptime monitoring. Included in our Business (€75/month) and Performance (€129/month) plans. For a site already lost once, paid back within 2 months max.
