As many people have had to move homes (for whatever reasons), sometimes websites also have to move their "home", which is their domain address. But when you transfer a website to a new domain you should also pay attention to something that has no counterpart in our home-moves: SEO rankings. When you need to move your WordPress website to a new domain address, it’s not just a matter of copy-pasting some file to a new "home". It’s a matter of making this process as smooth as possible and doing all you need to lower any loss within your SEO rankings that you gained with your old domain.
But how is this possible? What should you take into account to properly move your WordPress website to a new domain and prevent it from losing its SEO rankings?
I’ll get through all of these points, but first, let’s start with a key clarification: what’s a domain name? Roughly said: what you usually type on your browser bar is a website’s domain name.
