## Beschreibung

This plugin is installed on an external source WordPress site and handles:

 * Configuration and destination site selection
 * Source-side validation and preflight checks
 * Scanning source files and database
 * Exporting data in streamed, memory-bounded chunks
 * Uploading chunks directly to S3 via presigned URLs
 * Notifying the HonestHosting backend when the import is ready
 * Resuming interrupted migrations
 * Optional scheduled incremental sync via WP-Cron

### External services

This plugin relies on two third-party services to perform site migrations to HonestHosting.
Both are only contacted after the site administrator explicitly configures an import
key and initiates a migration action from the plugin admin UI.

#### HonestHosting API (api.honesthosting.io)

The plugin communicates with the HonestHosting backend API at `https://api.honesthosting.
io` to authenticate the site administrator’s import key, enumerate eligible destination
sites, obtain presigned S3 upload URLs, submit preflight estimates, and signal that
the destination is ready to import.

What data is sent and when:

 * When the administrator validates an import key or loads the migration UI: the
   import key and source site URL.
 * During preflight: source PHP version, estimated `wp-content` total size and file
   count, database table summaries (table names, estimated row counts and byte sizes,
   engine types), and detected hosting-environment capabilities.
 * During export: session identifiers, chunk manifests, file paths and sizes, database
   table progress, and hash values used to validate uploaded chunks.
 * When upload completes: an import-ready signal containing the session metadata
   and destination site identifier.

The import key is sent in the `X-HH-Site-Import-Key` request header over HTTPS.

This service is provided by HonestHosting:

 * Privacy Policy: https://www.honesthosting.io/privacy-policy/

#### Amazon S3 (presigned upload URLs)

The plugin uploads file and database export chunks directly to Amazon S3 using presigned`
PUT` URLs issued by the HonestHosting backend. Payloads are not proxied through 
the HonestHosting API; they are transmitted straight from the source site to S3 
over HTTPS.

What data is sent and when:

 * During export: each chunk body is `PUT` to the presigned S3 URL. File chunks 
   contain raw file bytes from `wp-content/`; database chunks contain SQL INSERT
   statements generated from the site’s database tables. Requests carry only `Content-
   Type` and `Content-Length` headers — authentication is embedded in the presigned
   URL itself, so no account credentials or import keys are sent to S3.

The S3 buckets used for migration storage are operated by HonestHosting on Amazon
Web Services. AWS terms and privacy documents apply to the underlying transport 
and storage:

## FAQ

### What hosting environments are supported?

The plugin works on standard WordPress installations including shared hosting environments
with limited PHP resources. No shell access or external binaries are required.

### Can I resume an interrupted migration?

Yes. All progress is persisted in local state files. Click „Resume Migration“ to
continue from the last checkpoint.

### Does this support WordPress multisite?

Yes. Each site in a multisite network must individually activate the plugin and 
configure its own import key and destination.
