Common WooCommerce → Shopify migration issues

WooCommerce stores often have thousands of URLs across products, categories, tags, blog posts, and custom pages. During a migration, it’s common to miss edge-case URLs or accidentally redirect traffic to the wrong page.

Product URLs changing from /product/... to /products/...
Category URLs changing to Shopify collections (/product-category/... → /collections/...)
Blog URLs changing (/blog/... or /category/...)
Tag pages generating duplicates
Old search pages indexed by Google
Redirect chains from plugin-generated rules
Large images causing slower LCP after migration

What Cutover checks during a WooCommerce migration

404 and missing pages
Redirect destination accuracy
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 scan settings for WooCommerce migrations

Discovery Method:Auto (sitemap first, then crawl)
Max Crawl Depth:3–5
Strip Query Params:ON (WooCommerce creates many variations)
Deny Patterns:/cart, /checkout, /my-account, /account, /wp-admin, /wp-login
Max Concurrency:5–10

WooCommerce sites often generate URL variants with query strings (filters, sorting, tracking parameters). Stripping query parameters prevents duplicate scans and keeps your migration report clean.

Why Core Web Vitals matter for WooCommerce → Shopify

WooCommerce sites often migrate to Shopify for speed improvements — but theme choices, apps, and tracking scripts can slow the site down. Every scan runs headless Chrome to measure real Core Web Vitals and capture full-page screenshots.

  • LCP and CLS regressions caused by Shopify themes
  • Performance issues from apps and tracking pixels
  • Visual issues like broken sections or missing templates
