When moving a WordPress site, it’s not unusual to have some anxiety about the process. After all, you’ve worked hard to build what you have, and you don’t want to lose any of it along the way. Fortunately, there are several excellent migration plugins available that can help.

Using a WordPress plugin often provides you with an insurance policy. That’s because many of these tools can create complete site backups for you, as well as provide recovery services. Additionally, if you only need to migrate part of your site, some plugins can customize the process to meet your needs.

WordPress Migration Tools to Make Your Move Easy
Knowing how to migrate a WordPress website manually is useful. As we mentioned earlier, however, there are also some tools you can use to simplify WordPress site migration. Here are some of our favorites!

If you’re moving your site to WP Engine, WP Engine Automated Migration can make the entire process a lot simpler. It takes care of everything, from copying your files and database to moving them to the new server. All you have to do is enter some credentials, and the WordPress plugin will take care of the rest.

WP Migrate
WP Migrate Lite exports all the files required to recreate your site in another environment. The intuitive interface allows you to fully configure your export with what you want to include. With just a few clicks, you’ll have a downloadable ZIP file of your complete site, ready to migrate. You can even import the ZIP file to Local and have a complete copy of your site up and running in minutes.
In addition, the plugin can find and replace content anywhere in your WordPress database with full support for serialized data, making it easier to migrate your database without risk of corruption.
WP Migrate Pro offers even more capabilities, with the ability to push and pull files–including media, themes, and plugins–between two installs, multisite support, and integration with WP-CLI.

WPvivid Backup plugin
WPvivid Backup plugin is perfect for site migration, as well as for keeping a copy of your WordPress site on hand. It supports both automated migration and manual migration (uploading a backup to a destination site and then restoring it). What’s more, it’s completely free and has no restrictions on the website size you can migrate.

About cPanel Cloudflare Integration
Cloudflare helps boost our websites and protect them from malicious visitors as well as bots. Furthermore, it enhances page load times by caching the website content to their globally distributed network of servers.
This goes a long way in experiencing the site visitor experience as well.

We can enable the Cloudflare plugin in cPanel to take advantage of the many benefits it offers as seen below:

First, we have to log in to cPanel. Remember to login via the domain name for which we want to enable Cloudflare.
Then, we must configure and enable Cloudflare according to our needs. We can configure it via one of the following options:
CNAME Setup
Here, the domain name will point to our authoritative DNS, and only subdomains point toward Cloudflare. According to our experts, this configuration works only with CNAME records. Hence, if we want to use A records we have to configure Cloudflare via Full DNS setup.

Full DNS Setup
Here, we have to update our domain’s current name servers to Cloudflare’s name servers. This ensures that Cloudflare’s name servers are the authoritative DNS for our domain name. In other words, the Full DNS Setup routes the traffic for our entire website via Cloudflare resulting in faster load times of our website.
