Move from .github.io to a custom .com in 4 steps. Cloudflare DNS, repo CNAME, Let's Encrypt HTTPS auto-issued, and re-indexing across search engines — UI walkthroughs included.
30 days after migrating to a new .com domain. Indexing gradually OK, impressions follow a spike → dip → recovery pattern. Naver and Cloudflare data carry the load while Google sandbox runs its 6–12 week course.
Naver carries 80% of Korean-site traffic, yet most operators skip Naver SearchAdvisor and let the engine find their site by accident. Registration in 5 minutes, sitemap submission, and manual crawl requests — step by step.
GSC: 2 clicks in 3 months. Naver: 230 clicks in 30 days. Cloudflare: 57 visits a day. Same site, 33–115× gap. Which one is the real traffic, and which one are you missing?
robots.txt is the deal with crawlers. llms.txt is the deal with LLMs. The day chatgpt.com first showed up in Cloudflare referrers, I rewrote llms.txt and explicitly allowed every LLM crawler in robots.txt. An hour's worth of notes.
