- falsedan 9y agoI still don't know what this is for, all the fluff (inserted to keep the reader's attention when explaining stuff that might be boring) gets in the way.
- theoctopus 9y agoIt's a service that transforms subdomains to paths. E.g.: blog.example.com -> example.com/blog api.example.com -> example.com/api docs.example.com -> example.com/docs ... and so on. Supposedly for SEO benefit, but there's the obvious security risk of running all traffic through a third-party.
- quickthrower2 9y agoA bit like CloudFlare?
- theoctopus 9y agoThey seem to work in similar ways, but Cloudflare focuses on speed and security, this just seems to focus on SEO. The security risk is in theory the same, but I'd argue that the risk from Cloudflare is lower as they're a well established service used by major companies.
