Biggest opportunity: Swap “backup”, “wordpress backup” and “migration” for “wordpress migration”, “content migration” and “website migration”. “backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress migration” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content migration” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “migration” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “website migration” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Install conversion
How it's measured →4.8%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 104.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 285 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

FastDup is definitely the best choice and does the job super fast!Also works perfectly on Windows IIS platforms. The best choice ever. 👍

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.

Thank you for this awesome migration plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Rob1.5y ago
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! ❤️
