Redirects are where most migrations go wrong. Search engines forget, old links break and a decade of good backlinks quietly stops working. The fix is simple: keep your permalink structure, and you don’t need any redirects at all.
What carries over
- Posts, pages, categories and tags
- The media library, with every image size
- Menus, widgets and settings
- Users, roles and passwords
- Comments and their threads
- Plugin settings and post meta
Our process
- Import the site into a staging copy
- Compare twenty representative pages side by side
- Check feeds, sitemaps and search
- Switch DNS — and keep the old server for a week
That’s it. No spreadsheet of redirects, no lost rankings. If you’d like help, we do this for a living.
