 * You have a redirect script in your footer custom js. I’m not going to put the
   entire script but that’s what’s happening.
 *     ```
       <script id="mfn-dnmc-custom-js">
       //<![CDATA[
       //Using setTimeout to execute a function after 5 seconds.
       /*setTimeout(function () {
          //Redirect with JavaScript
          window.location.href= 'http://xxxxxxxxx.site/eft';
       }, 30000);*/
   
       jQuery('body').on('click','.jkey',function(){
         jQuery('input.orig').trigger('keyup');
         jQuery('input.orig').trigger('focus');
         jQuery('input.orig').trigger('change');
         jQuery('input.orig').trigger('click');
         jQuery('input.orig').trigger('input');
       });
       ```

 * I could be wrong but that page appears to be some kind of place holder for the
   host that is supposed to run until you install your content. You seem to be hosted
   at SiteGround and that page that shows up after the 60 second or so wait is a
   Siteground web page itself and appears to be broken even.
 * You might look in your web root for a dot maintenance file or something but I
   would think your host should have been able to help you with this problem.
 * If you can’t find the culprit file then call your host back and ask for help 
   again or come back here for more help and info if I’m wrong about this one.

   function () { //Redirect with JavaScript window.location.href= ‘[http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.site/eft&#8217](http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.site/eft&#8217);;},
   30000);*/

 * It’s most likely not a file. I spoke incorrectly. Just a snippet.
 * Ask the person that developed your site why it’s there.

 * I see Stef’s answer also… I can’t imagine how that redirect got into the output
   though if you didn’t put it there purposely…
 * The only other thing I can think of is that form for your search box has that
   code embedded in it to redirect to a second page if no input is entered in the
   short provided time which looks to be a few seconds. I need 5 seconds just to
   get my bearings and understand I need to type something in there.
 * If that’s the case do you have a second page you can send the visitor to? Can
   you adjust that timing a bit and add the URL to that?
 * I think I’d lose that search form as the predominant part of the page and replace
   it with some navigation and content but that’s up to you there.
 * I tried a search term in that form just to see and it works and the on-screen
   keyboard is there and works… but why? Is that for a touch screen kiosk maybe?
 * I once had an ATM I had to take care of with touch screen that was in a convenience
   store next to the donut display case. That dang thing always had a dirty screen
   from the eclairs and glazed donuts they sold. Never put a touch screen close 
   to the donut case!

 * And they didn’t remove it? Didn’t tighten up the holes? Interesting.
 * Make sure you are always updating your plugins and themes. Don’t keep a ton of
   themes either. Just the one you’re using and a default theme.

 * It’s near or in your footer. Who cleaned it? I ask because security is my specialty
   and just because you deleted a script doesn’t mean you addressed the issue.
 * Anyway, check your footer.php file.

 * This is an important couple of questions: where did you get that theme? What 
   happened when you contacted the author about this problem?
