I am having a problem with my Wordpress website and I think that it has been hacked. First of all, my site is really slow. I have also noted some funny content that has been added on my site. Could this be a sign that my site has been hacked? What do you suggest I do about it?

Jump to PostCould be a plugin vulnerability... I would strip it down to only the essential core plugins, make sure wordpress is up-to-date. Remove all files, change your ftp details and username/passwords.
Jump to PostAlso be sure to not share your admin account information with anyone. I recommend changing your password. On the side note, try not using Admin as your username, you will most likely be targetted for a hack :D
