What breaks in Shopify migrations

Shopify uses a specific URL structure (/products/, /collections/, /blogs/, /pages/) that rarely matches the source platform. Without careful redirect mapping, traffic and SEO rankings disappear overnight.

Product URLs changing structure (/product/... → /products/...)
Category/tag pages mapping to Shopify collections (/collections/...)
Blog post paths changing (/blog/... or /news/... → /blogs/news/...)
Custom pages losing their slugs
Redirect chains from multiple migration attempts
Missing pages not covered by sitemap-based redirect tools
Performance regressions from heavy Shopify themes or apps
Indexed search/filter URLs returning 404s

What Cutover checks during a Shopify migration

404 and missing pages

Redirect chain hop count
TTFB and total load regression
Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, TBT)
Page size and asset weight changes
Screenshot QA (visual diffs)
Sitemap vs crawl discovery gaps

Recommended workflow for Shopify migrations

Step 1:Run a free trial scan (up to 15 URLs) to spot obvious issues
Step 2:Export CSV → fix redirects in Shopify admin or app
Step 3:Buy credits and run a full-site scan
Step 4:Review Core Web Vitals + screenshots in the report
Step 5:Re-scan after DNS cutover to confirm everything works

This workflow catches issues at every stage — before launch, at launch, and after launch. Most migration problems are discovered in the first full scan.

Why Core Web Vitals matter for Shopify migrations

Shopify themes, apps, and tracking scripts can introduce performance regressions. Every scan runs headless Chrome to measure what your visitors actually experience.

  • LCP regressions from heavy Shopify themes
  • CLS issues from lazy-loaded app widgets
  • Visual differences from template changes
  • Screenshot diffs for client sign-off
