I’m rebuilding an ecommerce. I’m planning to migrate all the content from my site.com to site.com.br, which is currently not optimized, unlike the optimized version on site.com. Both sites are based on WordPress, with site.com hosted on Digital Ocean and site.com.br hosted on WPX. Site.com.br is an e-commerce with 3000 digital products. How can I carry out this migration without losing sales history, revenue, and customers, while applying the optimizations from site.com to site.com.br? I want to maintain the same URLs, meaning that at the end of the process, the URL site.com.br/product/product1 should display the new and optimized product page. Appreciate any advice or suggestions on best practices for this migration.

Make sure to redirect every relevant url with 301 to the new location. This will help keeping up the google rankings / authority your old links have.
site.com/bzz -> site.com.br/bzz
Even If you do everything correctly, you will probably see a small decline for a few months in rankings and other aspects.
Make sure to follow every rule of a proper relaunch, then you should be good to go.

You can probably just export / import the woocommerce orders / statistics to have them on the new website.
If your site is less than 2GB in size, you can use the free version of All-in-One WP Migration plugin to migrate everything in one go: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/)
