Why a blog on a subdirectory?
If your blog lives on a subdomain, it builds authority for a different host. When it lives at /blog, every article strengthens your main site. That’s the core problem BlogPath solves, and it’s why we’re launching this blog on a subdirectory with the same playbook we recommend to customers.

What you’ll find here
- Product releases and roadmap notes tied to subdirectory performance.
- SEO experiments, internal linking tactics, and migration recipes (Cloudflare Workers, Nginx, Caddy/Traefik, Vercel, Netlify).
- Customer stories on moving from subdomains to
/blogand the lift they see in 30/60/90 days. - Growth tactics for marketers and founders to increase conversions from blog → product.
Our product pillars
- Global CDN caching: serverless, multi-region edge so TTFB drops without changing your CMS.
- Origin shielding + WAF: protect WordPress/Blogger/Ghost/Webflow origins from DDoS and bot abuse.
- Zero-code DNS cutover: you change DNS; we handle routing, caching, and observability.
- Reliability and rollback: low TTLs, reversible cutovers, and uptime focus.
- Observability: cache hit ratios, errors, and Core Web Vitals surfaced without custom logging stacks.
How BlogPath works (in 60 seconds)
- You point DNS to BlogPath.io.
- We reverse proxy your existing blog (WordPress, Blogger, Webflow, Ghost, etc.) to
/blog. - We edge-cache static assets and optionally cache HTML for anonymous users.
- We keep plugins, themes, and CMS workflows intact—no rebuild.
- We add WAF/bot control, origin shielding, and analytics so you see the impact.
Roadmap and what’s next
- Performance tuning presets: opinionated cache rules per CMS.
- Image and asset optimization: WebP/AVIF, Brotli/Gzip, and smart cache keys.
- Deeper observability: dashboards for Core Web Vitals, cache hit ratio, 4xx/5xx alerting.
- Guided migrations: wizards for Cloudflare Workers, Nginx, Caddy/Traefik, Vercel, Netlify.
- Case studies: anonymized before/after lifts for subdomain → subdirectory moves.
Internal linking plan
- Each new post will include 4–8 internal links to relevant guides (migration, caching, security, ROI).
- We’ll add links from foundational posts back to new articles within 24 hours to accelerate reindexing.
- Pillars we’ll maintain: “Subdirectory SEO”, “Performance & Caching”, “Security”, and “Platform How-Tos”.
- Example clusters you’ll see:
- Migration:
subdirectory-vs-subdomain-seo.md,seo-impact-blog-subdirectory.md,host-wordpress-subdirectory-no-migration.md. - Platform guides:
cloudflare-workers-blog-redirect.md,nginx-blog-subdirectory.md,vercel-proxy-blog-subdirectory.md,netlify-proxy-blog-subdirectory.md. - Performance:

FAQ
Why not keep the blog on a subdomain?
We want authority to compound on the main domain and reduce cross-domain attribution friction. Subdirectories make that possible with less risk when coupled with a reverse proxy.
Do I need to migrate my CMS?
No. BlogPath.io keeps your current CMS and themes; you just change DNS and configure routes.
How fast can I launch?
Most teams launch in days. With DNS-only changes, rollback is minutes if needed.
What about security?
We add WAF, bot controls, origin shielding, and cache rules to reduce attack surface while boosting speed.
