From the official readme · v1.1.1Description
TechLab Site Migrator is a lightweight, read-only plugin that gives you a full picture of your WordPress site before you move it to a new host.
No data is exported, no files are changed. It simply reads your existing environment and tells you what is ready, what needs attention, and what might cause problems during migration.

Why TechLab Site Migrator?
Most migration plugins only handle the export/import step. They leave you to discover compatibility issues after the move — when your site is already down.
TechLab Site Migrator gives you the diagnostic layer first: run the checks, fix the warnings, then migrate with confidence.
Installation
- Upload the
techlab-site-migratorfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install directly from Plugins → Add New. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Go to Site Migrator in the WordPress admin menu (or Settings → TechLab Site Migrator).
- Review your Migration Readiness Score and address any warnings or failures before migrating.
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin modify my site or export any data?
No. The free version is entirely read-only. It reads existing WordPress and PHP values and displays them. Nothing is changed, exported, or sent anywhere.
Is it safe to run on a live production site?
Yes. All checks are read-only database and PHP queries. There is no risk to your live site.
What PHP version does it require?
PHP 7.4 or higher. PHP 8.1+ is recommended for best results and future compatibility.
Why is my readiness score not 100?
The score reflects warnings as well as failures. Common reasons for a less-than-perfect score include: debug mode being on, a plain permalink structure, PHP below 8.1, or a low memory limit. Warnings don’t necessarily block migration — they’re things to be aware of.
Can I migrate a multisite network with the free version?
No. Multisite migration is a Pro feature. The free version will detect that you are running multisite and flag it so you know to plan accordingly.
Where do I find the Pro version?
Visit techlabindia.com/marketplace/techlab-site-migrator-pro or click the Upgrade to Pro button inside the plugin.
Does the checklist save my progress?
Yes — progress is saved in your browser’s session storage so it persists while your tab is open. It resets when you close the browser.
Is there a free support channel?
Please use the WordPress.org support forums for free plugin questions. Pro customers receive priority email support.
