Frequently Asked Questions

Before migrating your Magento store to a new server, it's essential to conduct a complete site audit, back up all data, and ensure that the new server's environment is optimized for Magento’s system requirements. Additionally, testing on a staging environment is crucial to avoid disruptions during the actual migration process.

A poorly managed Magento server migration can lead to broken URLs, slow loading times, and even downtime, all of which negatively impact SEO. A carefully planned migration will preserve URL structures, redirects, and page load speed to ensure SEO remains unaffected.

Downtime can occur if the migration isn’t planned properly. However, by employing a staged migration approach, we minimize disruption. We also conduct testing before fully switching to the new server, reducing the risk of downtime.

Yes, custom extensions and modules may break during migration if the new server environment isn't properly configured. At Mavenbird, we ensure that all extensions and customizations are compatible with the new server before finalizing the migration.

Post-migration, your store's speed and overall performance heavily depend on the new server's capacity. Factors like server location, resources (RAM, CPU), and caching configurations can enhance or reduce performance. At Mavenbird, we optimize server settings for peak Magento performance.

Post-migration testing includes functionality tests, load tests, and compatibility checks. We also verify that data integrity is maintained, URL structures are correct, and customer journeys remain seamless. This ensures that your Magento store is fully operational after migration.

Server migration introduces potential vulnerabilities if not handled with care. Mavenbird ensures that all security protocols, firewalls, and encryption methods are maintained or enhanced during the migration to protect your Magento store from threats.

No, customer data is protected during the migration process. Mavenbird takes extra precautions, including encryption, to safeguard all sensitive information, ensuring that no data is lost or compromised during server migration.

In some cases, migration may require you to update certain aspects of your Magento store, including plugins, themes, or custom code, to ensure compatibility with the new server environment. We will notify you if any updates are necessary.
