Enterprise WordPress Migration Framework

Migrations are the #1 source of technical debt for mid-market WordPress platforms. Rushed DNS cutovers and fragile data imports create “ghost errors” that haunt platforms for years.

The 5-Phase Zero-Downtime Blueprint

1. Pre-Migration Audit: Database sanitization and asset inventory.
2. Infrastructure Staging: Mirroring the production environment with cold-standby layers.
3. Data Synchronization: Differential migrations versus hard cutovers.
4. The “Shadow Cutover”: Testing DNS propagation without affecting real traffic.
5. Post-Migration Validation: Core Web Vitals audit and revenue verification.
