"FastMigrate" plugin for wordPress

How It Works

Three Steps. No Technical Headaches.

Install on both sites, generate a key, paste it — that's the entire process.

Install On Both Sites

Install the FastMigrate WordPress plugin on the site you're moving (the source) and the site on the new host or server (the destination).

Generate Key on Source

Click "Prepare Migration & Generate Key." The plugin backs up your database, root files/folders, plugins, themes, and uploads.

Paste Key on Destination

Paste the key and click "Start Migration." Both servers work together — the destination pulls each piece the moment it's ready.

Key Features

Everything A Real Migration Needs

Not a stripped-down free tool — built for real sites, real hosts, and real edge cases.

Direct Server-to-Server

Your data moves directly between the two hosts at full data-center speed — never through your browser or a local zip file.

Automated Migration

The target environment automatically extracts the files, imports the database, and executes search-and-replace.

True Full-Site Clone

Database (including custom prefixes), all plugins, all themes, the entire uploads folder, and everything at root-level.

Automatic URL Rewriting

Including serialized PHP data, page-builder JSON, and migrated text files like robots.txt — handled automatically, safely.

One-Click Rollback

Your previous site is kept safely aside until you confirm the migration. Nothing is deleted until you say so.

Pre-Migration Check

Optionally compare your core, plugin, and theme files against official WordPress.org checksums before you migrate anything.

HMAC-Signed Transfers

Backups are never publicly downloadable. Migration keys expire automatically after 24 hours or can be revoked anytime.

Chunked & Resumable

Everything works within shared-hosting time limits, so slow or restricted hosts never stall the entire job.

Leaves No Trace

Deleting the plugin removes every folder, file, and database table it ever created — including interrupted-migration leftovers.

A Clean, Guided Migration Experience

No confusing settings, no guesswork — just a clear path from source to destination.

1. Security Check

Compares your WordPress core, plugin, and theme files against official WordPress.org versions before you migrate anything. Purely informational — it never blocks or changes anything on its own.

2. The SOURCE Tab

Click "Prepare Migration & Generate Key" to back up your entire site into split, checksummed archives, then get a key to paste on the destination.

3. The DESTINATION Tab

Paste the migration key from the source site and click "Start Migration" to pull everything directly, server-to-server.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know how the fast WordPress migrations work

How long does a WordPress migration take?
A typical 5 GB site migrates in under 3 minutes on standard hosts. Seamless coordination between the source and destination slashes transfer time, making it the fastest WordPress migration plugin available.
Will my destination logins keep working?
No — it’s a 100% clone, including users. After migration, log in with the source site’s credentials.
What if the migration fails halfway through?
Before the final swap, your live site is never modified — aborting just deletes temporary data. After the swap, your previous site is kept until you confirm, so you can roll back with one click.
Does it migrate files outside wp-content, like .htaccess or robots.txt?
Yes, with one deliberate exception. By default FastMigrate migrates the entire site root — robots.txt, sitemap.xml, favicon files, and any other custom file you keep next to wp-content. .htaccess is excluded by default, since a source’s custom rules are a common cause of a locked-out destination. You can include it manually if you need to.
How big a site can it handle?
The pipeline is fully chunked and resumable, and tested with multi-GB sites. You’ll need roughly 2× the site size in free disk space on the destination during migration.
Is FastMigrate really free?
Yes. FastMigrate is a free WordPress migration plugin built and maintained by HostWP.io — no premium upsell version, no feature paywall.
