Guide
Account for the URLs before a cutover
A migration plan needs a source inventory, an accepted target and a recoverable previous state.
Inventory and map
Google’s migration guidance calls for preparing the new site and a URL mapping before executing a move. Keep every old URL and its proposed treatment visible to the reviewer.
Preserve the operating state
Export relevant content, media, metadata, forms and routing configuration using authorized access. Preserve submissions and identify who can retrieve them after any later change.
Test the exact candidate
Verify paths, branding, accessibility and any accepted intake against a matching artifact revision. No publishing, DNS, redirect or contact-routing action is performed by this checklist.
