## Description

**FastMigrate** moves a WordPress site between hosts, servers, or environments –**
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 – 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 you’re moving) and the
    destination site (the new host).
 2. **On the source site:** click _Prepare Migration_. The plugin backs up the whole
    site – database, plugins, themes, and uploads – 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** – data moves directly between hosts at full data-center speed, never
   through your browser.
 * **Native acceleration** – automatic use of native database export, native archive
   tools, and parallel transfers where available, with safe fallbacks everywhere
   else.
 * **Chunked and resumable** – works within shared-hosting time limits; slow or 
   restricted hosts won’t stall the job.
 * **True full-site clone** – database (including custom tables), all plugins, themes,
   uploads, and root files (.htaccess excluded by default for safety).
 * **Safe by default** – wp-config.php itself, WordPress core files, .git, and vendor/
   node_modules are never touched on the destination.
 * **Automatic URL & path rewriting** – including serialized PHP data and page-builder
   JSON.
 * **One-click Rollback** – previous site kept safely aside until confirmation; 
   nothing deleted until then.
 * **HMAC-signed transfers** – backups are never publicly downloadable; keys expire
   after 24 hours or can be revoked manually.
 * **Exclusions** – skip heavy folders, specific root files, or database tables.
 * **WP-CLI support** – `wp hostwpio-fm backup`, `wp hostwpio-fm migrate <key>`,`
   wp hostwpio-fm status`.
 * **Clean uninstall** – 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** – no analytics, no telemetry, no phone-home.
 * **No third-party servers** – your site data travels directly from your source
   host to your destination host, server-to-server.
 * **No user data collection** – the plugin only accesses your own WordPress site
   files and database for migration purposes.
 * **Keys are ephemeral** – migration keys auto-expire after 24 hours and can be
   revoked manually at any time.
 * **Local processing only** – all data processing happens on your own servers; 
   HostWP.io never sees your site content.

For full details, see the plugin source code – it’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 plugin’s text domain.

#### 1.0.0 (Jul 30, 2026)

 * Initial release.

## Installation

 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 – it’s a 100% clone including users. After migration, log in with the **source**
site’s credentials.

### Does this work on shared hosting?

Yes – designed specifically for restricted shared hosting. Uses chunked processing
to stay within time limits, with automatic fallbacks when native tools aren’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 – all transfers are HMAC-signed with expiring keys. Archives are never publicly
accessible.

### Does this work with WordPress Multisite?

No – 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 – 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.
