Use Duplicator Pro – it will save you

Half dozen clicks and we have a fully functioning copy of our website. We can try things, experiment with different plugins.

Most importantly, we run all plugin updates and WordPress updates through the copy. In the last quarter this has saved us from 5 site damaging plugin updates. Without Duplicator we would have had customer impacting outages lasting days while the plugin developers figured out who broke what. (We have never figured out why site health things automatic update is good and testing your update is less healthy)

Thanks Duplicator Pro.
