To improve the reliability of site performance, preserve information on the site, increase site traffic, reduce the load on the site, etc. make a mirror of the site. It is understood that in the case when the main resource is unavailable for a number of reasons, then the visitor goes to a spare resource, that is, a mirror site.

Instructions
Step 1
Make an exact copy of your site. Create a new domain and transfer this data to it. You will get a site completely identical to the main resource, that is, a site mirror. For example, your main site is located at 1site.ru, then a mirror site should be created on the 2site.ru domain. It is a mistake to think that sites with and without the www prefix are considered different by search engines, i.e. www.1site.ru and 1site.ru., because when adding a site page in Yandex to the url, the script indicates that the added address corresponds to a specific mirror site and displays a variant with or without a prefix. A site mirror, like the main resource, can also generate income. Recently, however, search engines quickly identify copies of projects and either ban them or assign the status of a "mirror"
Step 2
Determine the main mirror for the Yandex search engine, this is necessary so that the search engine does not display the main resource page from the index. To do this, make changes to robots.txt (you should pay attention to the Host attribute at the very bottom of the file). If we need Yandex to consider the address 2site.ru as the main mirror, then we prescribe the following: User-agent: Yandex
Disallow:
Host: 2site.ru If you need to change the site mirror in relation to your domain (that is, choose the option with or without the www prefix, i.e. www.1site.ru or 1site.ru), just specify the correct view: Host: www.1site.r
or:
Host: 1site.ru
Step 3
Identify the main mirror for the Google search engine. To do this, register your site with Google Webmaster Tool. Then go to the link "Settings" - "Main domain" and put a checkmark in front of the required site. Save and check which domain variant is indexed by search engines. To do this, try to find your site in Google or Yandex search results. There is a concept of a "fuzzy mirror" of a site. This is an incomplete copy of the site - with a slightly different design, slightly different content, etc. Such fuzzy mirrors are created in order to attract additional visitors to the resource, since the search engine does not consider such an incomplete copy to be a mirror, it indexes both sites, and in the query results in the search engine results, the user sees both the main site and its mirror. When creating several "fuzzy mirrors", you can promote them together with the main site, thereby capturing several positions in the top lines at once, ie. TOP, search engines, pushing competitors out of the TOP and similar marketing effects.
