What's going wrong
Site owners using the Bluehost Site Migrator report that the transfer gets stuck on a packaging step, such as packaging uploads, plugins, mu-plugins or drop-ins. Some waited hours or overnight and saw no progress or completion message, so they could not tell whether the process was still working. Small, basic WordPress sites are affected too, which means the stall is not tied to site size. Owners have no way to see which step is running or how long it should take. A tool that shows live migration progress, flags stalls, and explains the next step could give owners clarity and a way to recover without guessing.
