README

Research on deploying static sites to Cloudflare Pages, focusing on deployment methods and SEO considerations for subdomain hosting.

Key Topics

• Direct Upload Deployment - Deploying without Git integration using Wrangler CLI or drag-and-drop
• Subdomain SEO Impact - How subdomains affect main domain SEO vs subdirectories

Context

This research supports deploying the Lattice documentation site to lattice.uptownhr.com, where the main site (uptownhr.com) is already hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

Key Findings

1. Direct Upload is Supported: Cloudflare Pages supports non-Git deployment via Wrangler CLI or direct upload
2. Subdomain Trade-off: Subdomains are treated as separate sites by Google, subdirectories generally better for SEO
3. No Cross-Benefit: Content on lattice.uptownhr.com won’t directly improve uptownhr.com rankings
