What if the import goes wrong?

It tells you first. Your file is read in your own browser and checked before a single byte is uploaded, and then a practice run resolves every row against your real data and reports what would happen without saving anything. You only press the real button once you have seen the numbers.

Can I bring it in twice?

Yes. Records are matched on their natural key (SKU for products, email for customers, order number for orders) so running the same file again updates rather than duplicates. Fix something in the spreadsheet and re-drop it.

For most businesses there is nothing to do. It is a file and a button. If your data is genuinely awkward, email migrate@sparx.works and we will do the move with you.

This is a WordPress everything you have written export

We can tell from the columns and the file name.

Everything you have written

128 of 129 ready

128 everything you have written ready: 1 row will be skipped.

Must fix

Row 84: this record has no name.

Nothing has been saved yet.

The writing is the asset. The platform is the liability.

1

Five plugins are doing what should be one product

SEO, forms, caching, backups, security. Each an extra thing to update, an extra thing to break, and an extra place for something to go wrong on a weekend.

2

You are one abandoned plugin from a bad month

Every plugin is a door. The ones nobody maintains any more are doors nobody is watching, and you would not necessarily know which those are.

3

The moment you want to sell something, it starts again

A shop is another plugin, with another set of extensions, and the whole cycle repeats with money in it.

What comes across

Everything in this list is something an importer we maintain actually reads out of your WordPress export. It is generated from that importer, so it cannot promise you something we do not do.

Or connect your WordPress account with one read-only key and we fetch all of it directly: no exporting, no files. It is also the only way products, customers, orders can come across, because WordPress has no export that produces them.

Your writing is portable. The maintenance is not worth keeping.

sparx is a publishing platform with commerce, CRM, email and stock already in it: built and updated together. The part of WordPress you actually value is the archive, and the archive moves in one file.

What that changes

Every old URL is redirected to its new one automatically, so a decade of links and rankings survive.
Yoast and Rank Math titles and descriptions come across. Most importers drop them, and you only notice in the traffic.
Drafts stay drafts, published stays published, and the dates are the real dates.
Nothing to update, ever.

What does not come across

Every migration leaves something behind. Here is ours, so it is not a surprise halfway through.

Comments do not come across.
Menus and widgets are rebuilt in the builder.
Shortcodes from plugins render as text and are cleaned up where they appear.

Before you start

Still curious? Read the platform docs, browse the API spec, or book a 20-min architecture call. We don't do high-pressure demos.

No. Everything happens on a copy. You export a file, and your WordPress account carries on exactly as it is. Plenty of people run both for a few weeks before switching their domain over.

Bring it over

Export the file WordPress already makes for you, drop it in, and look at what would happen before anything is saved. One file. A thousand posts takes about twenty minutes, images included.
