. :: Website migration issues :: Good list from @azarchick! Off the top of my head... 30? 1. Redirects no Rewrites 2. No redirects/Rewrites (dupes) 3. 302's not 301's (slower) 4. JS/Meta not server/script 5. Redirect chains >>> #SEO #Migrations t.co/r6DUsFlKeC

>>> 6. Incorrect order (older redirects in effect, not new) 7. Incorrect destination of redirects (HP etc.) 8. Untested redirects (fails/wrong dest.) 9. Destination is/are noindex 10. Destination is/are disallowed 11. Origin set to noindex (uses CLE + Meta/JS) >>>

>>> 12. Origin set to disallow 13. Redirects taken down to soon (old DN drops) 14. Content is changed as well 15. Design is changed as well 16. Content + Design are changed as well 17. Pages are "cut" 18. Pages are "merged" 19. Nav/ILs get "optimised" at same time >>>

>>> 20. Canonicals are left with old values 21. Canonicals are changed (see (14. "merged") 22. Resources (CSS/JS/Images) point to old DN 23. Internal links (ILs) point to old DN 24. Tools (GA/GSC) aren't setup/migrated etc. 25. No tracking of indexed pages/rankings prior >>>

>>> 26. Reversal within weeks 27. Multiple migrations within a short time 28. Platform changes before redirects settle 29. Mass content changes before redirects settle 30. Destination/New site has "errors" ... so ... what did I miss?
