Serve social, share and discussion icons as a small local SVG sprite instead of render-blocking third-party icon CSS and fonts. Preserve link destinations and artwork, and name icon-only links for screen readers.
Fixed
Link shared navigation, footer and tag browsing directly to their existing canonical routes, avoiding unnecessary redirects. Encode tag names in URLs without changing labels, article text or canonical values.
2026-10-04
Fixed
Point RSS and machine-readable source links directly to existing local pages. Preserve RSS item IDs and publication dates, retain external canonical overrides, and stop advertising nonexistent archive URLs without removing their text.
2026-10-03
Fixed
Serve existing slashless article canonical URLs directly, redirect their trailing-slash aliases, and use those same canonical paths in sitemaps and IndexNow. Article text, declared canonicals, hub URLs and external canonical overrides are unchanged.
2026-10-01
Fixed
Aligned production routing and IndexNow with the existing HTTPS www canonical host. Noncanonical host/protocol requests now redirect permanently without HTTP detours; article text and canonical paths are unchanged.

Fixed
Kept nginx directory redirects on the visitor's HTTPS scheme behind the reverse proxy, eliminating HTTP detours for slashless page links. Existing host and canonical conventions are unchanged.
