RE: Moving a site from .cfm to Wordpress - How to keep the authority?posted in On-Page Optimization
Actually, a 301 redirect can be avoided here, provided you maintain the same page/URL structure. You can use this WordPress plugin to generate the custom .cfm page extension and retain your URL structure to avoid hurting your rankings:
