Astro migration framework
A platform-neutral Astro migration guide for preserving routes, content, assets, SEO, accessibility, interactions, and browser behavior.
Astro migration framework
Move a website to Astro without losing what works.
An Astro migration is a system replacement, not a homepage redesign. The Go for Launch framework starts with evidence from the source site and ends with verified production behavior.
What the process produces
06 concrete deliverables- 01Complete route and redirect inventory
- 02Content and publication-state mapping
- 03Localized asset manifest
- 04Responsive and interaction parity
- 05SEO and discovery preservation
- 06Staging and production acceptance record
Capability and requirements
What this workflow does, and what it needs.
Required inputs apply to this workflow. Conditional tools apply only when the project, platform, or chosen service needs them. A missing optional integration does not block unrelated Go for Launch checks.
Required for this workflow
Inputs and evidence
- An Astro project checkout and a reproducible local build
- Access to the public source site and its route, content, asset, and behavior evidence
- A documented inventory against which the rebuilt site can be verified
Only when applicable
Conditional tools and access
- CMS, API, database, or administrator access only when public evidence is incomplete
- Cloudflare access only when Cloudflare is the selected host
- Third-party service credentials only for features the source site actually uses
Capture before rebuilding
Archive the source, crawl every public route, inventory documents and images, record metadata, and identify the hidden services behind forms, search, redirects, and interactive components.
Translate content into an Astro architecture
Model real content patterns with typed components and collections. Keep platform-specific extraction separate from rendering so the new site remains maintainable after the migration.
Prove parity across the whole site
Compare route families, navigation, responsive behavior, metadata, structured data, accessibility, and browser behavior. Record intentional improvements so they are not mistaken for omissions.
