A redesign should begin with an inventory of existing URLs, important pages, traffic and search visibility. Changes should then be mapped rather than made blindly.

Protect SEO during redesigns

Relevant 301 redirects, internal-link updates, canonical checks and post-launch monitoring help preserve useful search signals.

What businesses should focus on

• Start with a clear business objective and customer journey.
• Build performance, mobile usability, security and SEO into development.
• Use analytics and real customer feedback to improve the experience.
• Keep the technology maintainable so future changes are easier.
