mattpyle.com goes live
The domain went live with www as the canonical host. Fixed every emitted URL to the canonical host, fixed a layout-shift regression, captured the first live-network baseline, and confirmed every AI crawler gets a 200.
Hello World!
The site went live on its real domain, with www as the canonical host and the apex redirecting to it. Going live surfaced the things that only a real network hop can.
What the live network exposed
The config’s site was still the apex, so every canonical, og:url, sitemap entry, and structured-data URL emitted a host that immediately redirected out from under crawlers. Fixed at the source and in the four places that hardcoded it.
A layout-shift regression on the list pages was fixed with metric-matched fallback fonts, so the web-font swap changes glyph shapes, not layout — live CLS is 0 on all five page types.
First honest numbers
This replaced every prior localhost baseline, which had been flattering the site by construction. The first live-network audit is the one that found the Performance gap — see the self-hosted fonts entry for how that got closed. All six AI crawler user agents were confirmed to receive a 200.
