  • Subdirectory hosting improves SEO and user experience by consolidating site authority.
  • Setting up a subdirectory is complex and time-consuming but can increase organic traffic.
  • Key steps: Set up DNS records, configure Next.js with basePath, and deploy a Cloudflare worker.
  • A Cloudflare worker routes requests from the subdirectory to the subdomain and handles responses.
  • Update robots.txt headers in Next.js to prevent indexing of the subdomain to avoid duplicate content.
  • Verify that the subdomain is not indexed and the subdirectory is indexed via developer tools and Google's tools.
