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
