Checking for cloaking
There is a difference of 2387 bytes between the version of the page you serve to Chrome and the version you serve to GoogleBot. This probably means some code is running on your site that's trying to hide from browsers but make Google think there's something else on the page.

Spammy looking links
Any links with funky anchor text? Yes there are. show.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Another one with three mining links: https://urlquery.net/report/ab7ab3ed-926f-4e68-8b8f-32bb341e9557
(where the malware initially was not specified), but is here: https://aw-snap.info/file-viewer/?protocol=not-secure&ref_sel=GSP2&ua_sel=ff&chk-cache=&fs=1&tgt=cGhbbW5ndV1bbF1uLnVz~enc
with a script at line 768, detecion confirmed here: https://rescan.pro/result.php?aad699dd1b509a2dd3b6b8eb1c83e8e7
see: https://www.virustotal.com/#/domain/phimnguoilon.us

Rather good security practices where a mining website is concerned, only 40 recommendations given here via this scan:
https://webhint.io/scanner/a7f75590-34dc-4503-8f60-4d8e06c4e6ce
risk assesment - 8 risks given: https://app.upguard.com/webscan#/http://phimnguoilon.us
Vulnerable to MiM attacks and X-Powered-By header exposed & Server information header exposed (excessive info proliferation).

Cloaking also flagged in this case: http://isithacked.com/check/http%3A%2F%2Fphimnguoilon.us
'data-cf-nonce' can be abused in a so-called redirect (SQL) "replay-attack" on -http://ajax.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/scripts/2448a7bd/cloudflare-static/rocket-loader.min.js there.
