Hi, it may be caused by several reasons. The most possible reason may be, it is not getting enough time for execution. Go to Tools > Site Health > Info > Server and check : PHP time limit is more than 300 , Max input time time also more than 300. These settings is the execution time while it downloads something and process them. If it is low, then it will not get enough time to process them and will fail. By default, it may be something like 60 or lower.

Hope that helps you.

You may try with “WP Migration Tool” which clones a site and pushes it into another site without any hassle.

I just created a WP fresh installation on a empty cPanel and found that a basic installation takes around 65 MB of disc space. A theme may take around 20 MB more. So I guess 100MB disc space will do the task done. But you have to clean: backup files (if any), temp folder, mail folder routine wise,

I also agree agree with Adam Muiz, WP Migration plugin will do the task. But you cant do it on “copy/paste folders” method. Your current website database stores its data depending on current website location, but when you try to move that database, new website link will create a mess with links. As the WP Migration tool does it automatically for you, it will be better to use it. but remember, each time you make a backup, it creates a backup file on server, and the backup size every time increases if not older one is deleted. Sometime it may not show that file on backup files list, but it has already taken space for that. And WP migration may not work well if the backup size is quite big. I noticed that if it is something like 150-250mb it works fine.

It is really hard to diagnose this way. As Dave said, try to disable plugins to check if the problems are not from plugins.

Then, another thing you may check, if your server have enough upload capacities. Goto Tools > Site Health > Info > Server and check below configurations. If they are below this, it may cause issues:

PHP version – 7.4.33
PHP max input variables – 1000
PHP time limit – 600
PHP memory limit – 256M
Max input time – 600
Upload max file size – 128M
PHP post max size – 128M

Note that if php version does not match it can also cause non-stable issues. Your theme may work with php 8, you may check.

Hi, you don’t need to worry about .htaccess , they are created automatically. Just don’t try to modify them by yourself, it may lead to crush the site.

Go and make another installation on another folder, don’t worry. But One thing you may follow, when installing from cPanel WordPress installer, sometime it seems that if you provide same admin email while installation, the installation may stuck in middle (shows undefined installation notice).

Hi, WP migration Tool should have work. But it seems that if the file size is big (sometime if more than 200mb) it may not work as your hosting server blocks the bigger file upload.

On this situation, what I do is, I make a backup on the new site to identify where wp migration tool stores its backup file. Probably it is inside wp-content and a folder named to it. When the backup location is identified, as I don’t need current backup, delete it and upload the old sites wp migration backup file there via cPanel or “File manager” plugin.

Now, You will find the backup on wp migration tools backup page. Now, try to restore from this file, and it may work as it has skipped the file upload restrictions.

If you like to mess with Database as I did, then I can show a easy way. Goto your phpmyadmin and select database. Then goto _users and you will see the login mail is there. Change it, and change the password too with MD5 mode enabled. hit “go” and you are done.

May be your hosting provider has changed their defoult rules of file types, thats why now it is creating restrictions. You may try to force server by adding rules on the root .htaccess

<FilesMatch ".(jpg|gif|png)$">
Order Deny,Allow
?? ?Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

Here we tell server to allow jpg, gif, or png.?Always make a backup before doing any change on .htaccess because many times it makes website crush if anything goes wrong.

Had a look on the website. Does not seem to be notable as slow. Altohugh, we may inspect the full matter. At first I made a console check to see if there is anything missing or not. Found that there is nothing missing. That means nothing is getting slow due to missing files.

Next, I checked your sites rendering treemap, there I see that recaptcha is taking 20% render time alone, then /vendor/plugins/js/plugins.min.js is taking 17% , tiktok 16% + 5% , then google tag manager 11% and the list goes on. All these plugins are taking a huge time on rendering the site.

You can remove them if not really necessary, hope that will help you on speep up.

Hi, Feeling sad that you dont have the old domain. Now, dont worry if you have following things, you can restore your old site contents on new location.

Things you need : Access to the hosting of old domain, access on the old database. Please dont delete them at any any cost. As long you have the old database and wp-content folder, it will be possible to restore on a new location. If you dont have the cPanel access or whm to get the database, then we cant do anything.

If you cant do it alone, I will be glad to help you via email. Here I tell you the steps in short:

1. First goto phpmyadmin and locate the database. after clicking the database goto Export and download as SQL. Now we have the database in our hand but it cant be properly used right now as it is connected to several plugins & contents. if we try to push it run, it will make error. We also need wp-content folder which holds the plugins, themes inside. Let’s Download it. And another thing needed… the login credentials.
2. Now, we have required things (database file and wp-content folder) on our hand. Now we have to push it on new server, and it should be done properly.
3. Make a new WP installtion on server, we will empty the database content and push old database inside it. Go to new wp sites database, click on it. There you will find about 12 tables, select them all and “drop” them, which will clear all the data inside. We do it because it will help to import old sites data without any confliction.
4. As the database tables are emty, now we will hit ‘import’ to import the olde database. After the database is pushed dont open the wp site right now. Now goto new websites wp-admin folder, delete it and replace with the old ‘wp-admin’ folder. Now we have replaced database and wp-content folder theritically, but there is a problem… Old database is
5. holding older database name!!! to fix it, goto the table ‘xyz_options’ and you will find the first two lines are holding older domains name. Change them to new domain name.
6. Finally, we have cleared all the way except one thing!!! Our new wordpress does not know which prefix were used by the old domain. To correct it, goto wp-config.php and on line near 68 there is sometinhg like $table_prefix = ‘wp9r_’; replace it with imported database prefix.
7. Goto phpmyadmin on new domain, you will find that it will be something like wpdf_commentmeta, wpdf_comments where wpdf_ is the new prefix. put it on the $table_prefix and the job is done.

Hi, though it is tough to identify problems without field inspection, most possibly any plugin is causing confliction on your system. You can turn of plugins manually and sort out if any one of them is the culprit.

thanks
