What do others say about Super Speedy Imports?
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.
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!

What's new in Super Speedy Imports?
2.85 (6th August 2026)
- Fixed larger variable-product imports failing at `Finalizing fix-attributes` with "Error: timeout"
- The attribute filter table build now refreshes the database's optimizer statistics first, fixing multi-minute `Finalizing fix-attributes` waits on a brand-new or freshly restored store
- Every stage's finalize now has the same timeout recovery as the stages themselves, so work that outruns the browser's request timeout is watched to completion and re-run automatically where safe
- The After Import "Attribute filter table" choice is now radio buttons, with the fast bulk rebuild selected by default
- Deleting an import's products no longer starts WooCommerce's background attribute-lookup rebuild, because the delete already removes those rows in bulk
- With the option set to WooCommerce's own rebuild, a rebuild already in progress when an import finishes is restarted so it covers the newly imported products
- "Leave the table alone" now also applies when deleting an import's products
- Fixed term images and other term data not reaching hierarchical terms that already existed on the site, such as the leaf of a `Clothing > Hoodies` category path
- A product attribute's type, such as a colour swatch, now survives exporting your taxonomies and importing them again
- The term data mapper offers `product_attribute_color`, the swatch colour key the Variation Swatches plugins read, alongside the Super Speedy Filters one
- The bundled product demos carry colour swatches on their colour terms and icons on their category, brand, colour and size terms, and the variable products demo has gained brands
- New `superspeedyimports_stage_finalized` action for add-ons whose work depends on a stage's finalize results rather than its body
