Migration guide
Migrate from Wix to RankFlo
Take your Wix Blog content somewhere it can actually rank.
Why move from Wix
- Wix Blog has notoriously weak SEO — page speed and structure are problems
- Real headless API for any frontend
- Custom domain without Wix's premium plan upcharges
- AI content generation and real-time SEO scoring
- Cookieless analytics
- Self-hostable if you want full control
Things to plan for
Edge cases that come up on most Wix → RankFlo migrations.
Wix Blog export is RSS-only
Wix doesn't offer a true content export. Best path: RSS feed + manual scraping. Our importer does both.
Image hosting
Wix images are hosted on their CDN. The importer fetches each image during migration.
Step-by-step migration
4 steps. Export format: RSS feed (Wix has no proper export)
- 1
Find your Wix RSS feed
Wix Blog RSS lives at yoursite.com/blog-feed.xml or similar. Save the URL.
- 2
Run the Wix importer
20–60 minSettings → Import → Wix RSS. Provide your RSS URL. We crawl posts via the feed and scrape any missing fields directly from the live pages.
- 3
Add metadata manually
RSS doesn't include all metadata (categories, custom fields). Spot-check imported posts and add tags as needed.
- 4
Set up redirects
Wix uses /post/slug or /blog/slug. Use Cloudflare redirects to forward old URLs to your new RankFlo URLs.
After the migration
SEO and operational checklist — don't skip these.
- ✓Set up 301 redirects from old URLs to new RankFlo URLs
- ✓Submit your new sitemap to Google Search Console
- ✓Verify all internal links resolved correctly
- ✓Re-add SEO meta titles and descriptions where missing
- ✓Configure your custom domain and HTTPS
- ✓Run a crawler (Screaming Frog) against the new site to catch broken links
