## Àpèjúwe
**FastMigrate** moves a WordPress site between hosts, servers, or environments Ìtumọ̀
Yorùbá: – **no downloads, no uploads.**
It connects your two WordPress sites directly, server-to-server, so your data moves
between the two hosts at **full data-center speed** and never touches your browser
or your local disk.
**At a glance:**
* Typical sites migrate in 1-3 minutes
* HMAC-signed, expiring keys (24-hour TTL)
* One-click rollback until you confirm
* Full site clone (database + files)
* Works on managed, shared, VPS, dedicated Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – any host with PHP 7.4
+
* Completely free
### Why we built this
At [HostWP.io](https://hostwp.io/), moving WordPress sites is daily work. We needed
something that worked reliably on shared and restricted managed hosting providers,
without depending on SSH, large zip downloads, or a fast local internet connection.
FastMigrate is what we built for ourselves — **now free for everyone. Works between
any two hosts, not just ours.**
### How it works
1. **Install** FastMigrate on both the source site (the one youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re
moving) and the destination site (the new host).
2. **On the source site:** click _Prepare Migration_. The plugin backs up the whole
site Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – database, plugins, themes, and uploads Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – into
checksummed archives.
3. **Copy the key** that appears once preparation is complete.
4. **On the destination site:** paste the key and click _Start Migration_. The destination
pulls every archive straight from the source, imports the database, rewrites URLs
safely, and activates the migrated site.
5. **Verify, then confirm.** Until you confirm, a one-click **Rollback** instantly
restores your previous site.
### Key features
* **Fast** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – data moves directly between hosts at full data-center
speed, never through your browser.
* **Native acceleration** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – automatic use of native database export,
native archive tools, and parallel transfers where available, with safe fallbacks
everywhere else.
* **Chunked and resumable** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – works within shared-hosting time limits;
slow or restricted hosts wonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t stall the job.
* **True full-site clone** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – database (including custom tables),
all plugins, themes, uploads, and root files (.htaccess excluded by default for
safety).
* **Safe by default** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – wp-config.php itself, WordPress core files,.
git, and vendor/node_modules are never touched on the destination.
* **Automatic URL & path rewriting** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – including serialized PHP
data and page-builder JSON.
* **One-click Rollback** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – previous site kept safely aside until
confirmation; nothing deleted until then.
* **HMAC-signed transfers** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – backups are never publicly downloadable;
keys expire after 24 hours or can be revoked manually.
* **Exclusions** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – skip heavy folders, specific root files, or database
tables.
* **WP-CLI support** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – `wp hostwpio-fm backup`, `wp hostwpio-fm
migrate `, `wp hostwpio-fm status`.
* **Clean uninstall** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – removes every folder, file, and database
table it created.
### Privacy
FastMigrate does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external services.
* **No tracking** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – no analytics, no telemetry, no phone-home.
* **No third-party servers** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – your site data travels directly from
your source host to your destination host, server-to-server.
* **No user data collection** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – the plugin only accesses your own
WordPress site files and database for migration purposes.
* **Keys are ephemeral** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – migration keys auto-expire after 24 hours
and can be revoked manually at any time.
* **Local processing only** Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – all data processing happens on your
own servers; HostWP.io never sees your site content.

s 100% open source (GPLv2+).
#### 1.0.1 (Aug 04, 2026)
Fixed:
* .htaccess is now correctly excluded by default in the scope panel messaging.*
Secret-shaped wp-config constants now display as (hidden for security) instead of
bare truncated names. * User-Agent string corrected from DirectMigrate to FastMigrate.*
State file writes now retry with backoff, preventing silent cursor resets.
Improved:
* Reduced idle time during migration from minutes to seconds. * Loopback
ticks now use a dedicated REST API endpoint to bypass host-level throttling. * Accelerated
watchdog recovery: stale tick threshold now 5s, cron interval 10s. * Trophy banner
now reports total wall-clock time including any intermediate delays.
Added:
* Stall detection with a pulsing “retrying” indicator in the admin UI. *
Advanced exclusions: unchecking a parent folder now cascades to its visible children.*
FAQs for Multisite support and localhost migration. * WP-CLI output is now translatable
via the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s text domain.
#### 1.0.0 (Jul 30, 2026)
* Initial release.

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀
1. Install FastMigrate on **both** source and destination sites.
2. On the source: go to _FastMigrate_ -> _Prepare Migration_ -> wait for key to appear.
3. Copy the key.
4. On the destination: go to _FastMigrate_ -> paste key -> _Start Migration_.
5. Verify the migrated site looks correct -> _Confirm_ (or _Rollback_ if not).
## FAQ
### How long does migration take?
A 1-2 GB site typically finishes in 1-3 minutes on well-provisioned hosts. Speed
depends on both servers’ disk I/O, CPU, and network bandwidth.
### Will my destination logins keep working?
No Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s a 100% clone including users. After migration,
log in with the **source** siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s credentials.
### Does this work on shared hosting?
Yes Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – designed specifically for restricted shared hosting. Uses chunked
processing to stay within time limits, with automatic fallbacks when native tools
arenÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t available.
### What about very large sites?
Sites larger than ~5 GB may take longer but will still complete reliably. The plugin
handles large files via chunked byte-range downloads with resume support, and automatically
splits large files across parallel connections when idle slots are available (tail
acceleration).
### Is my data secure during transfer?
Yes Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – all transfers are HMAC-signed with expiring keys. Archives
are never publicly accessible.
### Does this work with WordPress Multisite?
No Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Multisite is not supported in this version. FastMigrate works
with single-site installations only.
### Can I migrate from a localhost site to a live host?
Yes Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – but only in one direction. The destination server must be able
to REACH the source server directly.
* Migrating FROM a live host TO localhost works fine (the localhost destination
can connect to the public source).
* Migrating FROM localhost TO a live host requires making the localhost temporarily
reachable (e.g. via ngrok or LocalWP Live Link) so the live destination server
can connect to it and pull the backup.
