I tried using the simple WordPress migration from Sakura Rental Server to Xserver.

From Sakura Rental Server, who has been helping us for a long time,Transfer to XserverDid.
On XserverWordPress Easy Migration FeatureSo if the conditions are met, you can migrate WordPress very easily.

The procedure is as follows:
Easy migration ⇒ Change name servers at the domain management company
The process goes like this.

We have migrated from Sakura Rental Server to Xserver!

WordPress backup just in case

The most recommended plugin that anyone can use to easily back up is All in one WP migration. Install and activate this plugin to export your WordPress information.
The free plan only allows you to import up to 500MB, so you need to be careful when restoring your site in case something goes wrong. In that case, you can easily restore it by subscribing to a paid plan.

It takes time, so it is better to do the backup when you have time.

Using Sakura Rental Server Webmail with Gmail

When I tried to change the POP server and SMTP server in gmail settings to those for Xserver, I had a problem where the settings were not saved.

Using Xserver Webmail with Gmail

I tried many times and even restarted my computer, but the changes could not be saved. I was using Chrome, but I thought I should try a different browser, so I logged into gmail using Edge.

The settings were changed smoothly!
The changes were made to the POP server, number, SMTP server, number.

Don't forget! SSL settings

Let's set up SSL.

Domain > SSL Settings

Check the SSL settings list

It automatically configured SSL settings! That's what you'd expect from xserver.

Try actually accessing https://xxx.com and if you can view the site, then it's OK.

Next,Always SSLJust do this and your previous WordPress settings will be inherited and SSL will be enabled!

Try moving to Xserver

The display speed is completely different! I'm using a paid theme from TCD, but the display speed is slow and bothersome. It took several seconds for the images at the top of each page to appear after accessing the site.
I often use Lightning to create websites for my clients, and Lightning is very fast. I was wondering whether to change the theme to Lightning,Server MigrationI'm very happy with the improved display speed!
