I Never Migrated My Classic Google Site. What Will Happen If I Keep Going?

1. What Does Migrating Your Classic Google Site Mean?

Google has been moving users from the older Classic Google Sites platform to the newer, modern Google Sites platform. Migration means transferring your site’s content to the new system so it stays supported, editable, and accessible.

2. What Happens If You Don’t Migrate?

⛔ Loss of Editing Access

• After Google’s migration deadline, you will no longer be able to edit your Classic Google Site.
  
  

• Your site may become read-only, meaning visitors can still see it, but you can’t make changes.
  
  

⛔ Eventual Unpublishing or Deletion

• Google may unpublish or remove your Classic Site entirely after some time.
  
  

• This means your site will become inaccessible to visitors.
  
  

• Content that wasn’t migrated may be permanently lost.
  
  

⛔ Broken Features and Links

• Some embedded content or features might stop working as support for Classic Sites ends.
  
  

• You may experience display issues or errors when accessing your site.
  
  

3. Can You Still Save or Recover Your Site?

• If you still have access, use the migration tool to transfer your site to the new Google Sites immediately.
  
  

• If you lost access, you may need to rebuild your site manually on the new platform.
  
  

• Always backup your site content (text, images, files) before migration deadlines using Google Takeout or manual copy.
  
  

4. Why Should You Migrate?

• The new Google Sites offers a modern interface, mobile-friendly design, and better features.
  
  

• Migrated sites continue to receive support and updates from Google.
  
  

• Migration prevents data loss and ensures your site stays live and editable.
  
  

5. Important Warning

**WARNING:** Continuing to use your Classic Google Site without migrating risks losing all your site content and visitors permanently. Google will phase out support, and your site may be deleted with no way to recover it. Act now to migrate and protect your work!
