The process of migrating a website is complicated. This process involves backing up your existing content, moving the content, and sometimes restructuring the file structure to improve security and efficiency.
There are many reasons why a business might decide to migrate its website. These include dissatisfaction with its current web host, additional features and services with a different host, or simply for a better price.
A website migration project generally entails moving all of a site’s files and databases from one hosting account to another. A website’s files typically include images, content, code, and plugins. In addition, website migration may also involve changing your domain name or installing SSL certificates to upgrade your domain from HTTP to HTTPS for enhanced security. We implement changes carefully to avoid negatively impacting your search engine visibility.
What Google says about Website Migration and SEO.
“With any significant change to a site, you may experience ranking fluctuations while Google recrawls and reindexes your site. As a general rule, a medium-sized website can take a few weeks for most pages to move in our index; larger sites can take longer. The speed at which Googlebot and our systems discover and process moved URLs largely depends on the number of URLs and your server speed. Submitting a sitemap can help make the discovery process quicker.” – Google
