The homepage loads. Deep links open a hosting error.
Client-side routes depend on a hosting fallback. A Next.js migration gives every public path its own route and checks direct visits and refreshes.
Lovable to Next.js migration
Migrate Lovable to Next.js.
Move your Lovable website or app into an agent-ready Next.js codebase you control. Start with a 1-1 clone of your homepage, review it, then move the remaining routes and connected services.

A complete Lovable migration
Move the interface and every service behind it.
A Lovable project can include generated React components, client or server routes, Supabase data, authentication, storage, Edge Functions, secrets, and connected services. A complete migration gives each part a clear place in the new setup.

Why other migration methods fail
The interface moves. Forms and accounts still call the old setup.
Database URLs, authentication, Edge Functions, webhooks, and service settings need to be reconnected and tested together.
The schema arrives. Customer records and uploads stay behind.
SQL migrations carry structure. Production table data, storage files, and user access follow their own secure migration steps.
The design matches. Search previews still use shared defaults.
Each public route needs useful HTML, metadata, social images, canonicals, internal links, and a place in the sitemap.
The better end state
Same website. More room to move.
Customers keep the interface and working flows they know. Public pages keep their useful URLs and search signals. Your team gets an owned Next.js repository it can change with an AI coding agent and review before release.
The product experience customers already understand.
- Product design and interactions
- Working routes and user flows
- Data and connected services
A site your team and its agents can keep improving.
- Owned code and deployment
- Agent instructions and context
- Reviewable releases
What needs to move
Move the code and everything that makes it work.
Map the interface, routes, backend, user access, integrations, and search settings before the build expands. Each part gets a clear destination and review step.
01
Interface and design
Generated components, responsive layouts, and interaction states
Record the live interface and the exported components. Carry typography, spacing, color, assets, mobile behavior, loading states, and polished interactions into reusable Next.js components.
- Live interface review
- Design tokens
- Responsive states
02
Routes and rendering
Every public URL and the code that renders it
Identify whether the project uses React Router or TanStack Start. Give each public page an explicit Next.js route, preserve useful paths, and confirm that direct visits and refreshes work.
- Stack and router
- Public route map
- Server-rendered pages
03
Database and permissions
Tables, SQL migrations, records, and row-level security
Review the Supabase or Lovable Cloud setup behind the interface. Move or reconnect the schema, table data, functions, triggers, and RLS policies in a clear order.
- SQL migrations
- Production data
- RLS policies
04
Accounts and access
Authentication, user records, OAuth, and redirect URLs
Test sign-up, sign-in, password reset, protected routes, and each OAuth provider. Update allowed origins and callback URLs before the domain moves.
- Auth flows
- OAuth settings
- Protected routes
05
Functions and integrations
Forms, storage, Edge Functions, secrets, and external services
List the services that make the product work. Reconnect uploads, email, payments, webhooks, analytics, API calls, Edge Functions, and server-side secrets in the new environment.
- Storage files
- Function secrets
- Third-party services
06
Search and launch
Metadata, crawl files, redirects, analytics, and the domain
Give each public page useful metadata and crawlable content. Verify canonicals, Open Graph images, structured data, robots rules, the sitemap, redirects, analytics, and the production domain.
- Page metadata
- Discovery files
- Launch monitoring
Step-by-step migration plan
Move your Lovable site in five clear steps.
Each step ends with something your team can review before the next one begins.
- 01
Bring the project over
Sync the code and record the live Lovable project.
Connect the Lovable project to GitHub or download its code. Crawl the live URLs, record the main user flows, inspect the stack, and list every connected cloud service.
OutputRepository, route list, screenshots, and service map - 02
Plan the handoff
Give every frontend and backend part a clear destination.
Map components and routes into Next.js. Decide which Supabase project will serve the new site, then plan the order for data, auth, storage, functions, secrets, and integrations.
OutputRoute, component, data, and service migration plan - 03
Review the first clone
Clone the homepage and one working product route first.
Build the homepage and one route that uses real data, authentication, a form, or another important service. Review the design and the full user flow on desktop and mobile.
OutputTwo reviewed routes with one connected product flow - 04
Move the rest
Build the remaining routes and reconnect each service.
Apply the approved components, move the remaining public pages and app routes, migrate required data and files, and reconnect functions, secrets, analytics, and automations.
OutputComplete preview with data and integrations working - 05
Go live
Test the full product, move the domain, and watch the launch.
Test public pages, accounts, forms, uploads, payments, API calls, redirects, metadata, and analytics. Connect the domain, then watch errors, leads, usage, and search traffic.
OutputLaunch report, monitoring, and issue list
Copyable migration prompt
Start in a new Claude Code or Codex terminal.
Let your coding agent clone the starter, or run the setup in your CLI. Add your current Lovable website and copy the ready-to-use steps.
I want to migrate my Lovable website ([YOUR WEBSITE URL]) to Next.js using this starter: https://github.com/Synscribe/launch-template.
Clone the starter into a new folder and open it. Read README.md and AGENTS.md, then run /site-clone with my source URL. Follow the skill and stop at the first review checkpoint.The migration is the starting point
Keep the new site easy to edit and maintain.
The Agentic Website Template gives marketing teams the instructions, reusable components, search foundations, and launch checks to keep improving the site after the move.
Clone any design
Keep the personality of the Lovable site you already shaped.
The clone workflow follows the live design, responsive layout, and useful interactions. Approved patterns become clean Next.js components instead of forcing the product into a generic template look.
- Custom visual design
- Responsive states
- Working motion
Stay visible
Give every public page clear, crawlable output.
Public copy and links arrive in the page HTML. Explicit routes, useful metadata, structured data, sitemaps, and discovery files help search engines and AI tools find and understand the site.
- Server-rendered content
- Metadata for each route
- Discovery foundations
Keep improving it
Give your coding agent the context behind the product.
Goals, architecture notes, design tokens, brand voice, sample content, data rules, and reusable components help Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor make focused changes after the migration.
- Instructions stored with code
- Reusable product patterns
- Reviewable changes
Maintain it with confidence
Check the website and its connected services before every launch.
The launch checklist and audit cover identity, public routes, discovery, forms, placeholders, and production settings. Add product tests for authentication, data, storage, and payments as the site grows.
- One launch checklist
- Automated site audit
- Safe previews
Before you move
Lovable migration questions
01Can I export all of my Lovable project code?+
Yes. Lovable can create and sync a GitHub repository for the project. Its code editor also supports downloading the project as a ZIP. The GitHub repository stays available if the Lovable connection is later removed.
02Is an exported Lovable project already a Next.js project?+
Lovable has used more than one web stack. Its current documentation says newer projects use TanStack Start, while older projects commonly use React with Vite and React Router. The migration first checks the actual package file and routing setup, then maps that structure into the Next.js App Router.
03Can the Next.js site keep using Supabase?+
Yes. The frontend and backend can move on separate schedules. The Next.js site can connect to an owned Supabase project for its database, authentication, storage, realtime features, and server functions.
04What comes across through GitHub?+
GitHub carries the project source code and SQL migration files stored in the repository. A full cloud move also accounts for table data, storage files, user access, authentication providers, environment variables, secrets, and service settings.
05What happens to users and authentication?+
Keep the current authentication project or migrate it carefully. When user records move from Lovable Cloud to another Supabase project, passwords stay protected in the original auth system. Plan a password reset flow, reconfigure OAuth providers, and update every callback URL.
06Will direct links keep working after the migration?+
Yes, when each public URL has an explicit Next.js route and changed paths have direct redirects. Older Lovable React projects often use BrowserRouter, so the migration records deep links and refresh behavior before rebuilding the route tree.
07Will moving from Lovable affect SEO or AI visibility?+
Any domain or rendering change can cause temporary search movement. The migration keeps useful URLs, visible page content, titles, descriptions, canonicals, structured data, internal links, Open Graph fields, robots rules, the sitemap, and llms.txt under review.
