Check Licensing and Permissions
You cannot turn any cloned site into a commercial project without proper approval. Before you use a cloned site for client or business work you need to read all the creator's instructions.
Customize the Design and Content
Avoid using cloned sites as-is. Make visual and content changes that match your official brand appearance. By making modifications you keep your website distinct from others available online.
Review SEO and Meta Settings
Cloned content frequently transmits the initial Search Engine Optimization optimizations plus title and description details. Change all meta tags and alternatives to fit your own content and chosen keywords.
Test Responsiveness Across Devices
Just because a page is duplicated does not mean it will function well with the content intended. View your edits on different screens to guarantee they work properly on every device type.
