FAQ
- Q. Can I deploy TanStack Start to Cloudflare Pages?
- Yes. With a Vite + Cloudflare Pages setup, you can run a practical deployment for static assets and (optionally) SSR, depending on your needs.
- Q. Any tips to keep SEO (sitemap/OG/canonical) stable on Cloudflare Pages?
- Keep canonical URLs unique, generate OGP images with a consistent size, and treat `sitemap.xml` as a CI-verified artifact. After deploy, use IndexNow (where supported) to speed up discovery.
- Q. What are common pain points when migrating to Tailwind v4?
- Beyond config/directive changes, decide your dark/light strategy (including FOUC prevention) early to avoid rework.
- Q. Does IndexNow help Google indexing too?
- Not directly. IndexNow targets engines like Bing/Yandex; for Google, you'll still rely on Search Console and good sitemaps.
