What do others say about Super Speedy Imports?

Phil — December 2024

Even using this early release, the import speed is amazing. Our previous plugin required months to import our large number of products. This tool takes minutes. The ability to run new product additions and updates will change the way we do business.

Krish Himmatramka — February 2025

We've been using this plugin on our live site for a few weeks now and it's been a phenomenal game changer for us. Before with WP All Import, importing products from a supplier would take so long that by the time the import was done, it wasn't even accurate anymore. It was also taking so many resources that our backend would slowly crawl and was near unusable. Now, imports take a few minutes and we can run imports multiple times a day and can keep our products very up to date. We're still moving some imports from WP All Import over to this, but this plugin has been amazing for us. Thank you so much!

Super Speedy Imports compared versus other products

What's new in Super Speedy Imports?

2.66.0 (8th July 2026)

New: the Run Now screen has been redesigned. While an import runs you now see each stage with its own progress and worker activity, an overall percentage and elapsed timer, a system-configuration panel, live peak throughput, and a colour-coded live engine console.
New: when an import finishes, the popover transitions to a completion screen with a per-stage efficiency table (duration, peak memory, throughput), a velocity panel showing average throughput and a full count breakdown (posts created and updated, post meta, terms, relationships, taxonomies), auto-fix and integrity totals, an Export Summary download and a link to view the updated posts/products.
New: set Featured and Catalog Visibility on import – map a Featured column (1/yes) and a Catalog Visibility column (`visible`, `catalog`, `search` or `hidden`) in Publication Info. These combine with stock status into the product's `product_visibility` terms. Mapping the `product_visibility` taxonomy directly overrides them for the whole import.
Improved: imported out-of-stock products now get WooCommerce's `outofstock` catalog-visibility term, improves performance and eliminates the need to run save-posts after run.
Fixed: when the slug (post_name) is left unmapped, products sharing a title now get their `-2`/`-3` slug suffixes in CSV row order every time, instead of an order that could vary between runs.
