A migration plan that protects rankings: inventory URLs, move files and database safely, run a serialization-safe search-replace, map 301 redirects, and tell Google about the move.
Crawlability, metadata, structured data, redirects and migrations.
Technical SEO is the part of search optimisation that developers control: whether pages can be crawled and indexed, whether each URL has one clear canonical version, and whether search engines can understand the content through metadata and structured data.
This path covers a practical checklist for Next.js and WordPress sites and a migration method for moving a site to a new host or domain without losing rankings. Both come from real launches and migrations.
Who it’s for: Developers responsible for launches, rebuilds and migrations.
