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.
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.
