 * Hi there,
 * I’ve installed wordpress on localhost (not available over Internet). After applying
   some updates (core + modules), I would like to test the site against the live
   site. The comparison should navigate on all website’s pages and check if localhost
   and live site are exact same content and visual layout. How to do so ? The site
   has hundreds of pages, links etc, so it’s virtually impossible to check all of
   them manually. They may have some online services but since the localhost site
   cannot be reached remotely, I don’t find a solution.
    How to run full sites comparison
   like human would do ? Thank you for your help.

 * Hello,
 * I did some quick R&D, but didn’t find any online service or plugin which can 
   compare the site content.
 * So either this has to be done manually, you can hire someone for this if it is
   hectic for you.
 * Another way, I can suggest is we can compare the Database SQL file, it may give
   some clarity. Only change in the Database would be URL i.e. one would like localhost
   URLs and another would be test site URL.
 * Try if this approach helps.
 * Thanks.
