UpdraftPlus reaches 4 million active installations

UpdraftPlus has reached an exciting milestone: more than 4 million active WordPress installations.

Every one of those installations represents a website that someone has chosen to protect with UpdraftPlus. Whether you’re backing up a personal blog, running an online store or managing hundreds of client websites, thank you for trusting us to help keep your work safe.

For everyone at TeamUpdraft, this milestone belongs as much to our community as it does to us. Your trust, feedback and support have helped shape UpdraftPlus into what it is today.

The UpdraftPlus listing in the WordPress Plugin Directory now displays “4+ million” active installations, a milestone we’re incredibly proud to share with the WordPress community.

Every website represents an investment of time, effort and ideas. From a personal blog to a busy WooCommerce store, there’s always something worth protecting.
A reliable backup gives you a way to recover that work when something goes wrong.

Choosing a backup plugin is about more than features. You’re trusting it with your website, your content and the time you’ve invested in building it. Reaching 4 million active installations is a reminder of that trust, and of our responsibility to keep backups and restores as reliable and straightforward as possible.

We’re proud to support the site owners, developers and agencies who make up this community. Your needs vary, but the goal is shared: knowing you have a backup to turn to when you need it.

If you’re reviewing your own setup, our guide to the best way to back up WordPress covers the essentials, including keeping copies away from your website’s server and testing your restores.

Reaching 4 million active installations is a fantastic milestone, but what matters most to us is continuing to earn the trust of the people who rely on UpdraftPlus every day.

Over the years, UpdraftPlus has grown alongside the WordPress community. Whether you want automatic backups, easy restores or a safer way to migrate your website, UpdraftPlus has continued to evolve around the needs of WordPress users.

Keeping up with WordPress is just as important. As WordPress, PHP and hosting environments evolve, we continue testing and improving UpdraftPlus so you can update your site with confidence.

Many users also choose tools such as UpdraftClone for safely testing changes before they go live, or UpdraftVault for integrated backup storage. Together, they give you more ways to protect and manage WordPress websites as they grow.

To everyone who uses UpdraftPlus, recommends it to a colleague or trusts it with client websites: thank you. Your support has helped make this milestone possible.

We’re equally grateful to everyone who reports bugs, suggests improvements, contributes translations or helps other users in the WordPress community. Every piece of feedback helps us make UpdraftPlus a little better.

And thank you to the wider WordPress community for the collaboration and shared knowledge that help plugins like UpdraftPlus grow.

Reaching 4 million active installations is an incredible milestone, but it’s also a reminder of the responsibility that comes with earning the trust of so many WordPress users.

Our focus remains on dependable backups, easier migrations and making WordPress easier to manage. We’ll continue improving UpdraftPlus, listening to our community and investing in the features that make the biggest difference.

Please keep sharing your feedback. Whether it’s a small frustration or an idea that could save time, every suggestion helps shape what we build next.

Thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to the next milestone together.
