MigrateKit is a website migration verification tool.
It loads your old site and your new site in a real browser, compares them across seven checks, and returns a pass/fail scorecard listing every difference it found. If you would rather not run the move yourself, we also take on managed migrations from $2,500. Built by RoboticForce Inc. in Toronto.
What MigrateKit does
MigrateKit scores the difference between two live websites. The old site is the baseline: it is what the client already had, so anything the new site drops is a regression. Each of the seven checks produces a score, a target, and a pass or fail.
SEO preservation
Reads the title tags, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, heading order and structured data from both sites and reports which ones changed or disappeared. This is the check that catches a rebuild quietly dropping the signals search engines read.
Content completeness
Compares the text blocks, headings, links and images on each page and lists anything present on the old site but missing from the new one. It answers whether the copy actually arrived, rather than whether the page loads.
Visual fidelity
Screenshots both sites at desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile widths and measures the pixel difference at each. It is the like-for-like check: run it when the new site is meant to look the same as the old one, and skip it when the redesign is the point.
Performance
Measures Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, TBT, TTFB) and total page weight on both sites. A common outcome of a rebuild is a heavier page that looks identical and loads slower, which affects both rankings and conversion.
Accessibility
Runs WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules against both sites and reports only violations the new site introduced. Comparing against the old site means you fix the problems you created, not the ones you inherited.
Images
Checks every image on the new site for a broken file, a changed format, or an upscale, meaning a small source image stretched into a larger slot. Re-hosted assets are one of the most visible failures in a move.
Functionality
Clicks through the rendered page: internal links, anchor targets, form submission wiring and the mobile menu. It catches the failures that look fine on screen, such as a contact form whose action still points at the old domain.
What makes MigrateKit different
It compares two different sites, not one site to its own history
Visual regression tools such as Percy and Chromatic compare a site against its own previous commit inside a CI pipeline on one codebase. They are good at that, and they solve a different problem. A rebuild is two sites on two stacks, and the old one usually has no CI to hook into.
No access to the old site's code required
MigrateKit reads rendered pages over the public web. You do not need repository access, an installed agent, or cooperation from the platform you are leaving, which matters because the old site is often a Wix or Squarespace account you cannot instrument.
The output is a client deliverable, not a build log
The scorecard is a pass/fail summary with the specific failing pages, tags and elements listed, designed to be forwarded to the person paying for the rebuild. Compare that with a CI diff, which is written for the developer who wrote the pipeline.
It runs at the moment of launch
The check belongs between "the new site is built" and "the new site is live". Ongoing uptime and synthetic monitoring tools cover what happens after launch; MigrateKit covers the window where a rebuild silently loses things and nobody has looked yet.
Failures are named, not counted
A failing check does not just report a score. It names the items: which internal links now return 404, which images lost their resolution, which pages lost their meta description. A number tells you there is a problem; a list tells you what to fix.
It reports what it did not check
If a check cannot run, because a breakpoint failed to render or a suite timed out, the scorecard says "not checked" and not "0/100 FAIL". A fabricated zero would tell a customer their migration broke something we never measured.
Who uses MigrateKit
- Agencies and freelancers rebuilding client sites, across Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress, Duda and hand-built stacks. The scorecard goes into the handover as proof of what was verified.
- Teams rebuilding with AI build tools such as Lovable, v0, Bolt or a hand-rolled Next.js app. The build got faster; the verification step is where the missing pieces are found.
- Small store owners moving platforms, most often onto Shopify, who need to know that products, prices, pictures and old links survived the move before the old store is switched off.
- Developers and AI agents that need a machine-readable answer. The same engine is reachable over HTTP and through a local MCP server, returning JSON rather than a screenshot.
Who runs MigrateKit
Steven Leggett, founder
Steve built MigrateKit at RoboticForce Inc. in Toronto. He has spent years on the delivery side of web work, where the expensive failures are the ones found after launch: a form that stopped sending, rankings that slid, images that arrived shrunk. The tool exists because that check was being done by hand, inconsistently, and usually not at all.
Why it was built
Rebuilding a site has become fast, and verification has not kept up. The result is a move where everything arrives and nobody checks the inventory. MigrateKit is the inventory list: a defined set of checks with targets, run the same way every time, producing a report you can attach to an invoice.
How the company is set up
MigrateKit is a product of RoboticForce Inc., a private company in Toronto. It is proprietary software and the source is not published. The product is sold directly rather than through resellers. Founder contact for anything at all, including corrections to this page, is [email protected].
How MigrateKit works in practice
Getting started
Enter one address on the homepage for the free scan. It identifies the platform, counts what the page depends on, and lists what a move would put at risk. No account and no email are needed for that.
Verifying your sites
A two-site comparison requires proving you control both hosts, because the result exposes the contents of both. You pick whichever method suits your platform: a DNS TXT record, an HTML meta tag in the site head, or a file placed in the site root. The dashboard walks through each, and shows which method your platform supports.
Running a comparison
Submit both addresses from the dashboard. The scan runs in the background and the page updates as it goes; you can close the tab and come back. Results are kept in your scan history.
Communication and support
Support is by email at [email protected], answered within one business day, and by the founder directly for the time being. There is no phone line and no account manager: the verification runs without us, and managed migrations are arranged directly with the founder.
Turnaround
The free single-page check returns in about 20 seconds. A full comparison takes a few minutes, because it loads both sites in a real browser at four viewport widths. There is no queue and no human in the loop.
Billing
The Verification Report costs nothing. Managed migrations are the only paid service: quoted per site and invoiced against an agreed fixed price, and there is nothing to cancel because nothing recurs.
Data handling
The free scan reads a page and does not store the site. Comparison results are stored against your account so that history and the JSON download work. Verification records are keyed per user and per host, so proving control of one site grants nothing on any other.

Frequently asked questions
What is MigrateKit?
MigrateKit is a website migration verification tool. It loads your old site and your new site in a real browser, compares them across seven checks, and returns a pass/fail scorecard that lists every difference it found. It is built by RoboticForce Inc. in Toronto.
Does MigrateKit migrate my website?
You can do the move yourself, or we can do it for you. Doing it yourself, MigrateKit compares your old site against the new one and proves what did not come across, so you or your builder can fix it before launch. If you would rather not run the move, we take on managed migrations from $2,500, quoted per site: we rebuild the new site, move the content, set up the redirects, and verify the result before the domain is pointed at it. Either way we verify the public-facing layer: pages, images, links, forms, search signals, speed and accessibility. Server-side business logic behind a login is out of scope and needs its own tests.
Which platforms does MigrateKit work with?
Any platform that renders in a browser. MigrateKit reads rendered pages, not source code, so it works on Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, WordPress, Duda, GoDaddy Website Builder, Next.js and hand-built sites on either side of the move.
How much does MigrateKit cost?
The free scan costs nothing and needs no account: one page read in about 20 seconds. The Verification Report is free and per site pair - your old site against the new one across all seven checks, re-run until it passes. If you would rather not run the move yourself, managed migration starts at $2,500 and is quoted per site.
Why does MigrateKit need to verify that I own both sites?
A comparison exposes the contents of both sites, so every scan requires the requesting account to prove control of both hosts. Verification uses one of three methods: a DNS TXT record, an HTML meta tag, or a file uploaded to the site root. Records are stored per user and per host, so verifying one site grants no access to any other.
How long does a scan take?
The free single-page check returns in about 20 seconds. A full comparison runs every check at four viewport widths and takes a few minutes, because it loads both sites in a real browser. Scans run in the background and the result appears in your dashboard when they finish.
Who is MigrateKit for?
Agencies and freelancers who rebuild client sites, and the owners of small stores moving to a new platform. The scorecard is designed to be forwarded to a client as evidence that the new site preserved what the old one had.
Is the source code available?
No. MigrateKit is proprietary software and the source is not published. The engine is reachable through the dashboard, the HTTP API, the command line and a local MCP server.
