Definition

A staging environment is a private clone of the new site used for QA, redirect testing, and client approval.

Why it matters during migration

Password-protect staging and block it in robots.txt to avoid accidental indexing.

How To WP applies this

Our audits and delivery playbooks reference staging environment when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for Migration workstreams.
