Transferito: Easy WordPress Transfers & Migrations

Are you looking to migrate your WordPress website? If so, you’ll love today’s review of a brilliant migration tool and plugin created by Transferito.

There are countless reasons why you would want to migrate your website. Perhaps your current host sucks and you’ve had enough of their shenanigans.

Perhaps you were developing your site locally (on your computer) and now want to move it to a live production server. Maybe you changed your domain name and would like to transfer your entire WordPress website to the new domain name. You might be creating a staging site to test out new features before rolling out the changes to your live website. Or maybe you want to create a copy of your website as a backup.

No matter the reason you’re here today, the Transferito WordPress plugin was made for one purpose, and one purpose only; to make WordPress website migrations effortless.

It goes without saying that migrating a WordPress website is a stressful experience, especially if it’s your first time. There are just so many things to consider and a slight mistake can break your website, leaving you with downtimes and nasty WordPress errors.

It’s the reason why many web hosts offer free site migrations with any new hosting package you purchase. They do that to help out beginners.

Still, it can be a straightforward process if you have the right tool. And the Transferito WordPress migration plugin is exactly that tool.

With the Transferito WordPress plugin, you don’t need the help of your host or expensive experts to migrate your website. You can do it all on your own in a matter of clicks.
