Unwanted Redirect

When I go to my church website, www.universalist.org, it automatically redirects to www.webhostking.net. How do I stop this? Both Chrome and Microsoft Edge block this redirect.

Actually I do see this redirect, it just takes a few seconds. It also happens on Chrome but gets blocked somehow.

The site appears to have been compromised by a malicious script: https://blog.sucuri.net/2023/07/malicious-injection-redirects-traffic-to-parked-domain.html

You can block it by installing uBlock Origin, going to the settings dashboard > "My Filters" tab and adding "html5.onl" to the list, then click "Apply Changes".

It doesn't redirect for me. Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
