How to properly upload Wordpress site clone, without affecting indexing/SEO ?

I'm doing a major makeover to my website, which currently ranks well on Google and I don't wanna mess with this.

Currently the site has been cloned using a plugin called Duplicator onto a sandbox environment to recreate all the visual changes behind the scenes.

Once the new site is ready, do I simply swap out the old site for the new one that I made?

All the links are the same.

Will I encounter any SEO issues or deindexing of any past content, or will this mess with / undo my current sitemap ?

I don't have experience doing this and couldn't find tons of clear answers elsewhere so just wanted to clarify, apologize if this is a super n00b question...thanks all.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
