Post-Migration Checklist
1. Check Content Display
Verify that buttons, tables, and images display correctly within inblog's format.
2. Redirect Old URLs (301 Redirects)
Set up 301 redirects if your domain or URL structure changed (e.g., blog.example.com to example.com/blog) to preserve SEO.
Redirects must be configured on your own domain server.
inblog cannot manage redirects on your behalf.
Example: From /category/post-name → /post-name.
3. Backup Your Old Blog
Back up original content and image files locally before deleting the old blog.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will my blog formatting be preserved?
Content will be styled according to inblog's design system and templates. Tables, buttons, and elements will be adapted for consistency.
How long does migration take?
Usually 1–2 business days, up to 5 days depending on complexity.
Do you configure redirects for me?
No, 301 redirects must be set up by your team on your server or domain provider.
Will changing blog URLs affect SEO?
Temporarily, yes. Rankings and traffic may drop briefly as search engines re-index pages. "301 redirects help preserve SEO value and minimize losses."
Do you offer post-migration QA or reviews?
No. Clients are responsible for reviewing and confirming migrated content.
What is inblog's default URL slug structure?
Posts are published under: /[post-slug]
If your old structure used /[category]/[post-slug], set up redirects from the old format.
What about internal links within posts?
If your old blog used internal links, either:
- Set up domain-level redirects from old to new blog URLs
- Or provide updated internal URLs in migration files
