FastDup – Fastest WordPress Migration & Duplicator

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 75% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I have used all the most popular migration plugins. They are all very good, but cumbersome or paid limitations. FastDup does exactly what I need, quickly. No complaints yet. Thanks!

   After I had to give up my old website duplication plugin because it had become unusably slow, not long after it was taken over from its original author, I tried several alternative solutions. FastDup does what I want and does it FAST! And when I reported that something was missing in the backup installation process, my report was answered within an hour and I received a customized installer the next day.

   Glad I found this! With it, I easily managed to move my 10GB travel blog from one address to another on a different webspace. Everything was backed up – database texts, images, videos, plugins, themes and even every customization I did to the html and php code on my own! Only flaw I discovered was that emoticons in posts & comments were not backed up correctly, so I wrote a little bug report and not even 24 hours later (on a weekend!!!) I got a fixed version from the developers! All thumbs up for this nice little piece of software! Thank you guys! ❤️
