Hi everyone,

I recently released a WordPress plugin called StifLi Backup Tools.

It is a 100% GPL backup, restore, migration and staging plugin for WordPress. My goal with this project is simple: offer many of the backup/migration features that are often locked behind paid plans in other plugins, but keep the core toolkit free and open.

The plugin includes:

Full site backups

Database-only backups

Scheduled backups

Differential scheduled backups

Restore and selective restore

Backup integrity checks

Migration packages

Push/Pull site-to-site migration

Staging sites

Remote storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2 / S3-compatible storage, FTP and SFTP

Database cleanup, image optimization and maintenance tools

No telemetry, no license checks, no cloud dependency for the core plugin

I built it mainly for real WordPress sites, including shared hosting environments where long backup/restore processes often fail. It uses background processing, resumable jobs, chunked ZIP creation and streaming database operations to try to avoid common timeout/memory problems.

I know the backup plugin space is very competitive, so I am not claiming this is “better than everything else”. What I would really like now is real-world feedback.

I am especially interested in:

Sites where other backup/migration plugins failed

Large or awkward WordPress migrations

Shared hosting environments with strict limits

Remote storage workflows

Restore/migration edge cases

I am also willing to help with a limited number of migration cases for free, mainly to learn from real environments and improve the plugin. Of course, I would only do this in a safe way: staging/test sites where possible, temporary access only if needed, and never asking anyone to post private credentials publicly.

For trust/context: I am not completely new to WordPress development. I currently have 6 plugins published on WordPress.org with 4,000+ active installations across them. This backup plugin is part of that same ecosystem.

WordPress.org profile/plugins can also be found from:

I would really appreciate feedback, criticism, feature requests, or difficult migration cases where this kind of tool could be useful.

Thanks!

Stifli Flex MCP is 100% free and GPL-licensed (no paid tier, no upsell, no premium lock):

Connector directory:

I also built a Groq connector:

Current AI Copilot test status:

• OpenRouter: working well
• Mistral: working well
• Native providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini): working well
• Groq: partially tested only

I haven’t been able to fully validate Groq in AI Copilot because of free-tier API limits (and Developer Tier upgrades being temporarily unavailable).

If anyone has Groq Developer Tier and can test AI Copilot flows (rewrite, improve content, tool/function calling), I’d really appreciate feedback:

• Which Groq models are most reliable?
• Any failed_generation / 400 issues?
• Any settings that improved stability?

Thanks. Happy to share a quick test checklist if useful.
