Important Notes:

• The WordPress Toolkit's Backup/Restore feature is efficient, but it might not handle large websites as well as some other migration methods.
• Always keep a backup of your site before performing any migration.
• If you face any issues, consult your hosting provider's support or seek assistance from forums and WordPress communities.
• Bacloud recommends installing the LiteSpeed plugin for the best performance for your website. It optimizes your website's loading time by caching website files and optimizing code, images and more. Do not forget to configure your LiteSpeed plugin properly for the best performance.

Using cPanel's WordPress Toolkit Backup/Restore feature makes the migration process straightforward, especially for users familiar with cPanel environments. Always follow best practices and ensure you have a backup before making significant changes to your website.
