Weekly Wrap | July 20 - July 26

Hey everyone! Here’s a look at what dropped last week:

New

  • Simplified Custom Domain Setup: Connecting a custom domain is now much easier. Instead of adding multiple DNS records, you only need to add one DNS record and one TXT record for verification. There's no ACME challenge or complicated setup. We've also migrated custom domains from Cloudflare to our own infrastructure for a faster and more reliable experience.
  • ⁠Faster Custom Domain Performance: We've optimized our deployment and upgraded our infrastructure. Our new servers can serve requests globally with very low latency, improving the speed and reliability of websites using custom domains. Since we now manage the infrastructure ourselves, this also enables us to build more advanced features in the future.
  • 301 URL Redirects: You can now create 301 redirects for websites connected to custom domains. This makes it easy to redirect old blog URLs or pages to new ones directly from your website settings, helping preserve SEO and avoid broken links.
