Slashblog / Serve Your Subdomain from a Subdirectory
Your blog is throttled by having it on a subdomain – losing you traffic, sales, and morale.
Love your blogging platform and marketing platform?
With Slashblog you don’t need to compromise – you can have the best of both worlds.
You can use two different platforms, but serve them both from the same URL!
✨ Features
- Serve your subdomain as a subdirectory
- Works with any path – your blog can be at "/blog" or any other desired subdirectory.
- Auto updates references to the subdomain in the HTML – links, canonical tags, and many more elements will show your subdirectory so Google and visitors will truly be browsing a subdirectory.
- No SEO issues – from updating internal links to structured data/schema, the code takes care of SEO
- Auto updates links in sitemap – your sitemap links will automatically point to your subdirectory meaning Google will get 200 (instead of 301) HTTP codes when crawling.
- Auto redirects subdomain to subdirectory – this prevents two versions of your website being available (no good for SEO or usability)
- Continue using backend of subdomain – even though the subdomain redirects to the subdirectory, there is special logic in place to allow admin traffic through. This allows content editors/admins to continue working as normal.
- Works with any platform on your root domain as long as your traffic is proxied through Cloudflare (orange clouds).
- Forms keep working – most reverse proxies break forms, but with Slashblog forms continue working
- Lightning fast (literally)... Slashblog takes around 5ms from start to finish
🚀 Steps to Go Live
