Lays out twelve specific things a content audit should flag before a website redesign begins — ranking URLs and whether the new information architecture preserves them, keyword cannibalization, freshness-signal distortion from template-wide redesigns, backlink-protected pages, conversion value versus raw traffic, thin/duplicate/orphaned content, structured data tied to old templates, and internal linking equity. Argues the audit needs to happen 4–6 weeks before design work starts, not in parallel with or after it, since redesigning first and auditing content second is the single most common cause of post-launch organic traffic loss.
