I'm currently building a WordPress site on a temporary domain through my host(SiteGround). Once the site is done, I want to transfer the permanent domain over to it. But I have a few questions/concerns.

I see here, https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/upgrade/migrating/ , that I can change the site URL. Can I do that now so all my hard coded links and such will work once I change?

How much of the automatic links(such as product urls, blogs, etc) will automatically change once change the domain name to the permanent one?

I've built a few WordPress sites over the years but they were always new domains so I never had to worry about transferring the url before.

Thanks for any and all help!
