About this talk

What the session covered.

An early delivery of the WordPress migration framework that would become a recurring talk in Vineet's programme.

The session covered the key failure modes of WordPress migrations, from database and DNS handling through post-migration validation, with practical steps for each stage of a site move.

Key takeaways

What this talk established.

✓
Migration risk is highest at DNS cutover and database transfer. Both require explicit planning.
✓
Pre-migration environment checks prevent most post-migration failures.
✓
Post-migration testing must cover functional paths across forms, checkout, and account flows.
