Overview
Don’t Let Your SEO Rank Vanish During a Migration.
Migrating a legacy website to WordPress is a massive win for your workflow, but it can be a disaster for your search engine rankings. If your old site used .php extensions (e.g., domain.com/about-us.php), moving to standard WordPress “Clean Permalinks” will turn every one of those established links into a 404 Page Not Found error.
PHP to Pages is the lightweight, “set it and forget it” solution that bridges the gap between your legacy architecture and modern WordPress flexibility.
The Value Proposition
“Seamlessly transition from legacy PHP sites to WordPress while maintaining 100% URL consistency. No complex .htaccess coding, no broken backlinks, and zero SEO drop-off.”
