This guide explains the best Duplicator settings when using Crocweb hosting and how to troubleshoot timeout issues effectively.

Duplicator Pro – Build Processing Settings

If you’re using Duplicator Pro on Crocweb, follow these steps to optimize the build processing:

1. Navigate to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Click on Duplicator » Settings » Backups.
3. Under Archive Engine, select ZipArchive as it tends to perform better with Crocweb.
   • While Shell Exec is also available, ZipArchive is generally more reliable in this environment.

4. Ensure that Throttling is active.
   • Without throttling, Duplicator may use too much CPU on shared hosting, potentially causing the host to kill the process.

Note: To further reduce server load, you can adjust the Chunk Size in the Advanced settings. This will reduce the intensity of the backup process.
