If that doesn't work, then a snake, then lift it off the floor, but the hard water force has many times saved doing extra work.
And no more flushable wipes
With the bucket method, the toilet should be able to take the water as fast as you can pour it. If it slows down and/or starts to gurgle, etc., there is also a chance that your plumbing system vent is clogged and causing a vacuum/slow flush.
