Powerful high-volume imports with Super Speedy Imports
Super Speedy Imports is a premium WordPress import plugin engineered for huge catalogs and complex data structures. Built around an SQL-first architecture instead of traditional row-by-row processing, it can handle posts, custom post types and WooCommerce products at scale, dramatically reducing import times and server load compared to conventional import tools.
What is Super Speedy Imports?
Super Speedy Imports is a developer-friendly import system that stages your data in dedicated database tables, then processes it in optimized batches. Instead of creating or updating each record one by one, it uses carefully ordered SQL operations to insert, update and relate content in bulk.
This design lets you run large, frequent imports – whether you are loading new products, syncing supplier feeds, migrating content or keeping stock and prices up-to-date – without bringing your WordPress or WooCommerce site to a standstill.
Key features of Super Speedy Imports
SQL-first, high-performance import engine
- Bulk processing via SQL instead of slow row-by-row PHP loops
- Staging tables for posts, terms and relationships before they are committed
- Designed to comfortably handle very large data sets, including stores with hundreds of thousands or even millions of products
- Minimizes memory usage and reduces the risk of timeouts on big jobs
Works across posts, CPTs and WooCommerce
- Supports standard posts and pages as well as custom post types
- Ideal for WooCommerce, including simple, variable and downloadable products
- Handles rich product data such as descriptions, attributes, taxonomies, images and galleries
Flexible CSV-based importing
- Imports data from CSV files into posts, products and custom post types
- Maps CSV columns to any post fields or postmeta keys, including complex meta
- Custom functions can be used to transform or normalize values before import (for example, adjusting sizes, formatting strings or building arrays)
Advanced taxonomy and metadata handling
- Imports terms for any taxonomy: categories, tags, brands and custom taxonomies
- Supports product attributes for WooCommerce catalogs
- Writes or updates postmeta of almost any type from CSV, with support for more complex structures via custom code
Smart updating and synchronization
- Update existing posts and products based on a unique identifier such as SKU or ID
- Efficient stock and price updates, allowing you to sync inventory many times per day
- Option to remove items that no longer exist in your source feed, helping keep your catalog clean and consistent
Developer-friendly staged pipeline
Super Speedy Imports processes imports in configurable “stages” so you can customize how data flows from CSV into WordPress:
- Separate stages for importing CSV data, massaging data, inserting/updating posts, postmeta, terms and relationships
- Ability to skip stages you do not need for a given import (for example, only running metadata updates for stock and prices)
- Hooks and filters around each stage so developers can insert their own logic before or after specific steps
- Support for replacing built-in stages with custom implementations for specialized workflows or additional tables
This modular pipeline makes the plugin a powerful platform for building bespoke, ultra-fast import routines tailored to your project.
WP-CLI support and automation
- Run imports via WP-CLI for command-line control
- Ideal for integrating imports into your own cron jobs, deployment processes or external automation
- Useful for agencies, developers and power users managing large stores or multiple environments
Import history and transparency
- Keeps a history of imports so you can see what ran and when
- Easier troubleshooting and auditing of changes to your content or product catalog
