Goal

Correctly transfer the website from the old domain tusovki.tk to the new domain with maximum preservation of visibility and traffic from Google.

Tasks:

Preparation and Audit
- Check the indexing of the current site, sitemap, robots.txt, canonicals.
- Gather all active URLs (sitemap + crawling) and create a correspondence table old → new (1:1).
Set up 301 redirects (mandatory page-to-page)
- Preserve the path and parameters (/path?a=1 → /path?a=1).
- Cover all options:
  - http → https
  - www → non-www (or vice versa) — single target version

Google Search Console
- Add and verify the new domain (Domain property).
- Upload updated sitemap.xml with new URLs.
- Enable the Change of Address tool from the old domain to the new one.
- Check for crawl errors, indexing, coverage.
Technical Signals for Google
- Update rel="canonical" on the new domain (pointing to themselves).
- Transfer/update robots.txt (do not block important sections).
- Set up HSTS/HTTPS (if necessary), correct hreflang (if any).
- Check response codes: 200 for active pages, 301 for the move, 404/410 for actually deleted.
Analytics and Services
- Update GA4/Meta Pixel/other counters for the new domain.
- Check events/goals.
- Set up temporary annotations/segments "Move" for tracking.
External Links
- Compile a list of top backlinks and (if possible) contact website owners to update the URL to the new domain (provide a template letter).
Testing and Acceptance of Work
- Check a sample of URLs through:
  - curl -I / httpstatus.io / Screaming Frog (Mode: List)
  - Ensure that all old URLs return 301 → 200 to the corresponding new URL (without chains/cycles).
- Report: redirect table (CSV/Google Sheets), list of fixed errors, screenshots of GSC settings.

Success Criteria (acceptance)

100% of pages from the old domain redirect 301 in one step to relevant pages of the new one.
GSC: Change of Address completed, sitemap uploaded, no critical coverage errors.
Traffic to the new domain is recorded in analytics; visibility/positions are maintained at the highest possible level.
A brief instruction "what to do within 30 days after the move" is provided (monitoring positions/error log/log analysis).
