# Website Migration Audit

Prepare for website migration by crawling the current site, documenting SEO baselines, benchmarking performance, and recording DNS configuration.

Website migrations are risky for SEO and business performance if not properly planned. This workflow creates a comprehensive pre-migration audit that protects your search rankings and user experience through the transition.

Site crawling creates the complete URL inventory needed for redirect mapping. SEO auditing documents your current rankings and optimization state. Performance benchmarking ensures you can detect post-migration regressions. DNS documentation prevents service disruptions during the domain or hosting transition.
