Swift Clone packs your entire WordPress site — every database table and the whole wp-content folder — into one file, then rebuilds it anywhere. No upload limit. No timeouts. No broken widgets.
GPLv2 · WordPress 5.3+ · PHP 7.4+
Most hosts cap how big one upload can be and how long one request can run. A real site blows past both. Swift Clone never asks for much at once: the browser sends the package in pieces sized to fit your server's limit, and the import works in short steps that hand back to the browser before the host can kill them.
256× over the limit
each 1.9 MB, under your 2 MB limit
Pieces are 5 MB by default (up to 20 MB in Settings) and shrink automatically to fit your host. Each square above is one piece (up to 400 shown); a piece that fails is retried.
Everything a migration needs, and it all runs on your own server. Your packages, database and files never leave it.
Changing domains? A plain find-and-replace breaks every serialized option, widget and page-builder setting, because PHP stores the string length next to the text. Swift Clone rewrites the length too — inside serialized arrays, JSON and block markup.
The package is sliced in your browser and sent in pieces that always fit your server's limit, so upload_max_filesize and post_max_size stop mattering.
Export and import run as short steps, so a big site never depends on one long request.
By default your current database is saved before it's replaced, so an import can be undone.
Moving from wp_ to site2_? Tables, roles and capabilities are renamed for you.
After an import, wp-content matches the package exactly. Stale files from the old site are removed — your stored packages and the plugin itself are always kept.
Packages over 500 MB are served straight by your web server through a temporary, unguessable link that expires after 2 hours — no PHP download timing out halfway through a 4 GB file.
A single portable package you can download, keep as a backup, or upload to any other WordPress install.
wp-content: uploads, themes, plugins, must-use plugins.Open Swift Clone → Export and create a package. Download it, or leave it stored in the backup manager.
Install Swift Clone on the destination, upload the package and press Import. Watch the live progress bar do its thing.
The import brings the old site's users with it, so you sign in with the old site's username and password.
Yes. Swift Clone checks your server's upload limit and sends the package in pieces that always fit it (5 MB by default, up to 20 MB on generous hosts, smaller on strict ones), so even a 2 MB upload limit can't stop a multi-gigabyte migration. You can choose the largest piece size under Settings → Upload piece size.
Export and import both run as short, resumable steps, and the database is imported in resumable slices too, so most large sites move without hitting the host's time limit. The URL search-and-replace still runs as one step; on a very strict host (a 30–60 second PHP limit) with a very large database, ask your host to raise max_execution_time for the import.
Tip: for large sites, use Import Full Package. It runs in short resumable steps, so it's the safest choice for big sites.
Yes. URLs are rewritten with a serialize-aware search-and-replace, so widgets, options and page-builder data — including serialized and JSON values — keep working.
Yes — an import makes the site match the package. Your stored Swift Clone packages and the plugin itself are always kept, and a database safety backup is taken by default.
Some hosts (EasyWP, Hostinger, WP Engine, Kinsta and others) add their own must-use plugins in wp-content/mu-plugins/ that need files outside wp-content. Delete those host-specific files on the new site.
