You might not need this plugin. Its core job is small enough to live in your theme's functions.php.

Reviews

what people actually say

Duplicate Page is a well-liked utility plugin valued for its simplicity and time-saving one-click cloning, but a recurring thread of criticism points to performance issues and limited options, with a notable compatibility breakage affecting Elementor users.

What people like

+One-click page duplication works reliably and saves significant time on layout and workflow tasks×7
+Lightweight and straightforward to use with no unnecessary bloat×3
+Useful as a daily workflow tool for quickly copying pages or posts×4

Common complaints

−Causes noticeable performance slowdowns in the WordPress admin panel and on live page rendering×2
−Does not carry over SEO data when duplicating, requiring manual re-entry each time
−Compatibility broken with recent versions of Elementor and Elementor Pro — duplicated pages collapse all content into a single text editor element with a broken layout
−Settings feel too limited; users want more control and options beyond basic duplication×5
−No support for duplicating an entire page tree (parent page + all subpages) in one action
