Why are we comparing WP Vivid with Updraft Plus

Having offsite Backups is very essential because whenever a hosting server crashes or disk got corrupted or the whole server got hacked, you need an offsite backup to restore it on your new hosting server.

And that is the reason, choosing the best backup plugin becomes very important so that you can trust it.

But let's discuss more why WP vivid is better than Updraftplus.

Why WP Vivis is Better than UpdraftPlus

Since I have recommended WP Vivid, I must present to you the fact that it's actually better than updraft plus.

So here are the TOP 3 Reasons to choose WP Vivid over UpdraftPlus for backup.

1. Website Staging and Fresh WP Install

Having a backup plugin that allows you to create a staging environment with a few clicks inside your WordPress dashboard is an awesome feature, especially for those people who regularly try new things on their website to further improve the overall experience.

And this feature only comes with WP Vivid which becomes a plus point to choose it over updraft.

2. Site to Site Migration

Migrating to a small website is easy, just download the backup, upload and restore it on the new server but what if the website is large, like 20GB of backup size, will you still feel comfortable downloading and uploading it..? What if it gets failed at 90% Upload or download..?

Well for this exact scenario, WP Vivid offers a site to site migration where you just need to link both websites with an encryption key created in the migration panel and push the source website to the destination without manually downloading and uploading it.

The best part is, that it's available in the Free version of the plugin so you must try this amazing feature before choosing any backup plugin.

3. Image Optimization and Cleaner

I know it's not an essential feature of the backup plugin but for website speed and performance we need an image optimization plugin and with WP Vivid you do not need to purchase it separately. Just activate this addon from the dashboard and compress your images without losing quality.

On top of image optimization, they offer an Unused Image Cleaner addon which helps you clean your media library bloated with unused images.

*Lower Pricing

Updraft Plus starts at $70/year while WP vivid start at $49/Year and you can get a 20% Additional discount when you apply the coupon “BLOGGERTUTOR20” during checkout.
