This makes it work reliably even on shared hosting with low memory limits (64\u2013128 MB).<\/p>\n\n<p>The restore process uses a chunked approach \u2014 each AJAX call processes about 18 seconds of work, saves its position, and the browser automatically calls the next chunk. This prevents timeouts on shared hosting that limits PHP execution to 30-60 seconds per request.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Support:<\/strong> For questions, bug reports, or feature requests, please use the plugin support forum on WordPress.org.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Download the plugin ZIP file<\/li>\n<li>In your WordPress admin, go to <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Upload the ZIP and click <strong>Install Now<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Activate Plugin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Norvis Backup<\/strong> in the admin menu<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20on%20shared%20hosting%3F\"><h3>Does it work on shared hosting?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
