lots of junk links on my home page?

Post by askingg » Wed Sep 06, 2017 5:47 pm

I discovered the links on the attached screengrab when reviewing my site on tools.pingdom.com but I can't see where they are to remove them - I've updated to the latest 3x joomla and run rsfirewall (latest version) but it comes up with errors.

I've reviewed my index.php page in Safari/Develop/show source and don't see any of the links shown in the attached.

Any suggestions?


thanks

Post by askingg » Wed Sep 06, 2017 6:11 pm

this has appeared in my home page code, but I don't see where it is to remove it -

<script src="https://i.simpli.fi/p?cid=&cb=sifi_att_652645978._hp">
sifi_att_652645978._hp({"pixels":[]});
</script>

Any thoughts as to how I can find the code so I can delete it?

Your site looks fine from my end, no such code you mentioned.

I can't find that code on your site, although there is something similar

Code: Select all

<s*cript async src='https://tag.simpli.fi/sifitag/a648f520-1615-0135-3883-067f653fa718'></s*cript>	
It seems to be adware. If you didn't put it there, and it is not in your site template, it could be in an extension. I suggest checking any extensions you have installed recently.

You could also run the forum post assistant and post the results here.
