Remove perid at the end and place before "(cited on page....)" using biblatex.sty

My tags are:

\cite{acerbi2017practical} and \cite{acerbi2014origins} and \cite{lucretius2007nature}
\clearpage
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Output produced as:

I need to remove the period after (cited on page...). and should place the period before (cited...), e.g., output should be 1834--1844. (cited on page 1)

I tried with backrefpage command, but not able to succeed, please advise

Much thanks to moewe for his excellent support regarding biblatex and biblatex-chicago supports...

We can use the approach from How add biblatex backref after period at end of each item in bibliography.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[
  backend=biber,
  style=numeric,
  sorting=nyt,
  sortcites=true,
  autopunct=true,
  autolang=hyphen,
  abbreviate=false,
  backref=true,
]{biblatex}
\renewcommand*{\bibpagerefpunct}{%
  \finentrypunct\space}
\renewbibmacro{pageref}{%
  \iflistundef{pageref}
    {}
    {\printtext[parens]{%
       \ifnumgreater{\value{pageref}}{1}
         {\bibncpstring{backrefpages}\ppspace}
         {\bibncpstring{backrefpage}\ppspace}%
       \printlist[pageref][-\value{listtotal}]{pageref}}%
     \renewcommand{\finentrypunct}{}}}

Thanks a lot....Works pretty well, kindly give opinion about my try, please... — MadyYuvi, Dec 16 '22 at 16:02
@MadyYuvi The \protect\lowercase in the bibliography strings is not very idiomatic. Using literal . (even in a macro like \fullstop) is usually also not recommended (in a biblatex style context). biblatex has its own punctuation commands like \addperiod. — moewe, Dec 16 '22 at 21:22
@MadyYuvi Thank you very much. The same to you and your loved ones. — moewe, Jan 02 '23 at 05:40

By using the below tags:

\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
  backrefpage = {\protect\lowercase{cited on page}},
  backrefpages= {\protect\lowercase{cited on pages}},
}
\def\fullstop{.}
\renewcommand{\bibpagerefpunct}{\fullstop\space}
\renewcommand{\finentrypunct}{}

I got the required output and it as:

But, experts (like moewe, egreg, and so many others.) please confirm is the correct method?
