Best Restore WordPress Plugins

WordPress restore plugins work alongside backup solutions to make the process of rolling back a site to a previous state as fast and reliable as possible, whether recovering from a failed plugin update, a security breach, or accidental content deletion. The best restore plugins support granular recovery — letting administrators restore only a single database table, a specific file, or a set of posts rather than overriding the entire site. Hosting agencies handling emergency recoveries, developers who need to roll back staging environments, and site owners who have just experienced a critical failure all depend on dependable restore functionality. Some plugins in this category also feature migration tools that repurpose the same restore workflow to move a site between servers or domains.
