Micah Fisher-Kirshner: Sure, think about other parts that can affect it that you haven`t mentioned, for example:

Image urls
Image size
Script placement order
Html changes (headers changing, heavier and confusing code)
Load time
JL Faverio: absolutely
Brenda Michelin: Yes. You have to plan carefully. Quite a few steps. https://www.mprstudio.com/drupal-wordpress-migration/
Maria Patterson: JL Faverio I would look at Speed & mobile particularly using Google Page Speed Insights. Client moved a site from Magento v1 to Magento v2 and the url structure and domain are the same but a slight drop in SEO which is being unearthed mainly around the points Micah Fisher-Kirshner has highlighted.
Michael Stricker: URL changes ðŸ˜®
WP garbage URLs from misconfiguration (tags, dates, archives)
Handle it all.
