Frequently Asked Questions

WordPress Migration & Platform Relocation FAQs

Everything you need to know about our enterprise zero-downtime migration process.

Will my website experience any downtime during the migration?
No. We guarantee 100% zero downtime. We build, migrate, and test your website in a containerized staging environment. Once verified, we run an automated delta sync to capture the latest data and perform a sub-second DNS cutover so visitors never see a maintenance screen.
Will a site migration hurt my organic Google search rankings?
Not when handled by AssertivLogix. We extract every live URL, canonical tag, meta description, and schema markup from your source website. We map every legacy link to its exact destination using server-level 301 redirects to preserve 100% of your domain authority and organic rankings.
How do you handle live WooCommerce orders placed during the migration?
We execute an automated final "delta sync" right before DNS cutover. This process queries the source database for any new orders, updated inventory levels, or newly registered customer accounts created during dry-run testing and syncs them instantly to the target database.
Can you migrate from non-WordPress platforms like Drupal, Shopify, or Magento?
Yes. We regularly migrate legacy platforms including Drupal (7, 8, 9, 10), Shopify, Magento 2, Wix, Squarespace, and custom SQL databases into modern WordPress Gutenberg environments. We map legacy taxonomies and content types to native WordPress schemas.
What happens to my customer passwords when migrating to WordPress?
For platforms like Drupal or Magento, we implement custom authentication hash compatibility layers in WordPress. This allows existing users to log into the new WordPress site using their existing passwords without forcing a password reset.
How do you manage serialized PHP data in the WordPress database?
Standard SQL string replacement breaks PHP serialized string byte counts, resulting in broken options and corrupted widgets. We use WP-CLI native search-replace routines that dynamically calculate string lengths to guarantee zero database corruption.
Can you offload media uploads to AWS S3 or Cloudflare R2 during migration?
Yes. For sites with large media libraries (100GB+), we configure cloud media offloading to AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or DigitalOcean Spaces. We rewrite attachment metadata automatically to serve assets through global CDN edge networks.
How long does an enterprise WordPress migration take?
Standard host-to-host WordPress migrations are completed within 48 to 72 hours. Complex multi-language, multi-site, or legacy CMS platform conversions typically take 2 to 4 weeks, including dry-run testing and client sign-off.
Do you clean up database bloat and legacy plugin residue during migration?
Yes. As part of our database sanitization process, we remove orphaned postmeta rows, old post revisions, spam comments, expired transients, and unused plugin tables, significantly improving database query speeds.
How is DNS switchover executed without downtime?
We lower your domain's DNS Time-To-Live (TTL) to 300 seconds days prior to cutover. When ready, we update DNS records via Cloudflare or Route53, causing global traffic to instantly route to the new target server without propagation delays.
Can you migrate WordPress Multisite (WPMS) networks?
Yes. We specialise in complex multisite migrations, including splitting sub-sites out of a multisite network into standalone WordPress installs or merging multiple standalone sites into a single unified network.
What hosting providers do you support?
We migrate to and from all major hosting environments, including AWS EC2/Lightsail, Google Cloud Platform, WP Engine, Kinsta, Cloudways, Pantheon, Liquid Web, SpinupWP, and dedicated Linux VPS servers.
What happens if something goes wrong during DNS cutover?
We maintain full, active snapshots of the legacy server throughout the cutover. If any critical issue is discovered post-cutover, DNS can be reverted back to the original server within 60 seconds while our engineers investigate.
Do you migrate custom post types (CPTs) and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)?
Yes. All custom post types, custom taxonomies, ACF field groups, and relationships are mapped 1:1 into the target WordPress environment without losing structured content definitions.
Will my SSL security certificate remain active after migration?
Yes. We provision SSL/TLS certificates on the destination server (via Let's Encrypt or Cloudflare SSL) prior to cutover to ensure HTTPS encryption remains active and visitors never encounter security warnings.
How do you audit for 404 errors post-migration?
We monitor real-time NGINX/Apache error logs and Google Search Console crawl errors for 30 days post-launch. Any missing or broken incoming link is immediately appended to our 301 redirect engine.
Can you upgrade out-of-date PHP and WordPress core versions during migration?
Yes. If your old website is running legacy PHP 7.x or outdated WordPress core versions, we perform safe refactoring on staging to ensure full compatibility with PHP 8.2+ and modern WordPress standards.
What post-migration support do you provide?
All migration packages include a 30-day post-launch engineering SLA. We perform daily backups, monitor crawl performance, track Google rankings, and stand by for any emergency assistance.
Is your migration process compliant with data privacy laws (GDPR/CCPA)?
Yes. All data transfers occur over encrypted SSH/Rsync channels. Staging databases are hosted in compliant data centers and deleted permanently following client project sign-off.
How do I get started with an enterprise migration audit?
