Clone and Restore
Clone your WordPress sites to a staging environment with one click, safely test changes, and quickly restore to your live site.
Clone and Restore
Making updates, theme changes, or adding new features directly on your live WordPress sites carries significant risks. With Birtıkta's advanced cloning and staging system, you can create an exact copy of your site, safely test all your changes in a secure test environment, and deploy them live with a single click once you're confident they work flawlessly.

How Does the Staging System Work?
Birtıkta's staging system creates a completely isolated copy of your WordPress site from the live environment. This copy has the same structure as your real site but is accessed through a different URL and is not indexed by search engines.
All changes you make in the staging environment (theme updates, plugin installations, content edits) only affect this test environment. When you're satisfied with your changes, you can deploy all updates to the live site with a single click.
During the restore process, Birtıkta automatically backs up your live site. This way, if an unexpected issue occurs, you can instantly revert to the previous state.
Whether you manage a single site or oversee dozens of client sites, our staging and cloning features allow you to conduct all your development processes professionally and securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a staging environment?
+
A staging environment is an exact copy of your live site. In this environment, you can safely test updates, new features, and changes, and deploy them live once you're confident there are no issues.
Is my staging site visible in search engines?
+
No, staging environments are automatically hidden from search engines. Indexing is prevented through robots.txt and meta tags, so your SEO is not affected.
How long does the cloning process take?
+
Cloning time depends on the size of your site. An average WordPress site is cloned in a few minutes. For larger sites, the time may be slightly longer, but the process continues in the background.
Will there be data loss when deploying from staging to live?
+
No, Birtıkta automatically backs up before deploying to live. Additionally, with selective restore, you can transfer only the changes you want and preserve new content on the live site.
