Is there any way to migrate to wordpress from a blogger site whilst maintaining search engine performance?
I have a blogger site that attracts hundreds of visitors per week and would like to replace it with wordpress, but would not like to lose search engine rankings. How could this be done?
As far as I’m aware this won’t be possible. You’d have to rebuild the site from scratch and manually copy images and text over.
As for SEO, I would expect a lot of the meta data to change since wordpress will be interpreting a lot of that.
As long as the domain stays the same, you could would probably get away with redirecting links, however I would expect your ranking to drop for a bit after the immidiate move regardless.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
