How to Reindex Your Magento Store After Data Migration

After migrating your store's data to Magento, it's crucial to reindex your data. Reindexing ensures that all your products, categories, and other information are correctly displayed on the front end of your store. Without reindexing, you might encounter issues like missing products, incorrect prices, or broken category pages.

Reindexing essentially rebuilds Magento's indexes, which are used to efficiently retrieve and display data. This process is necessary after any significant data changes, including a full data migration.

Magento Reindexing Instructions

Here’s how to perform data reindexing in Magento:

  1. Log in to your Magento Admin panel.
  2. Navigate to System → Index Management.
  3. Select all indexes by checking the box in the header.
  4. Choose "Reindex Data" from the Actions dropdown menu and click Submit.

  2. Select all cache types by checking the box in the header and click Submit.
  3. Click Flush Magento Cache to clear the cache storage.
