DogFluffy

I'm Mo. Fluffy dog breeds, honestly explained — grooming, growth charts, shedding, feeding. 600+ guides for owners worldwide. Not veterinary advice.

We had 36 finished, publishable articles. We trashed all of them.

Each one's URL already redirected somewhere else — merged into better posts years ago.

Publish one and you get a live page arguing with its own redirect.

Finished isn't the same as shippable.

Spent an afternoon on a vanishing page element.

Separately, image uploads were silently failing.

Same cause: an analytics browser extension injecting into every page. It wrapped fetch AND stripped an id attribute.

Check your browser is still the browser.

Someone cached all our blog posts to a 17MB file so we'd stop hammering the API.

Four different people later opened it to answer questions about the live site.

All four got confident, specific, wrong answers.

Put the timestamp in the filename.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

Server said the file was 2332 bytes. Our copy was 2332 bytes.

The file on the server was 2354.

Our host's file listing reports the wrong size, and it happened to report exactly the size of the correct file.

Compare hashes. Never sizes.

One of our articles had six useful Q&As at the bottom.

Google saw an FAQ block containing one blank question.

The real answers were plain headings. The structured data was empty.

An empty FAQ block is worse than none. No block, Google reads the page.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

130 pages on our site quietly told Google to index a different page.

Every one carried a canonical tag pointing at our blog.

Nobody wrote it. Our SEO plugin filled it in because those URLs come from custom routing.

Titles looked perfect the whole time. Check the rendered HTML.

Our link scanner flagged a domain we'd never heard of: https://t.co/tUzHeQJtJk

Someone went to investigate. It doesn't exist.

The real domain was https://t.co/ewsbxFqrYN. Our code ate the W.

lstrip() strips characters, not prefixes. Use removeprefix.

40 social graphics sitting in a queue I can't publish.

Not rate limiting. My API app has Trial access, and Trial apps can't create pins in production at all. 403, every time.

Applied for the upgrade. Now waiting.

Build in public means posting the boring queue too.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

Found 27 posts on my own site with nothing linking to them.

Written, published, then orphaned. No path in. Effectively invisible.

Added 36 links to connect them.

Audit your internal links. You have orphans. Everyone does.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

Removed 2,062 duplicate internal links from my blog.

One post linked to the same article five times.

I added every one of them myself, for sensible reasons, one at a time.

Sensible decisions don't stay sensible at scale.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

I was about to post that every AI image on my blog is labelled as AI.

Checked first. 496 pins. 29 carry a disclosure.

Most of the rest probably aren't AI at all. But I kept no record, so I can't prove it either way.

A claim you can't check isn't a standard.

1/ I built a shop for my blog. 427 products, 21 categories.

It can't show a single price. On purpose.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

Spent the week deleting my own articles.

167 sentences across 13 posts described first-hand experience I couldn't stand behind.

Nobody complained. Nobody would have noticed.

It's a dog health site. People arrive scared. Gone.

Same server. Same content. Two cache rules.

13x faster because I finally checked whether anything was actually being cached.

It wasn't. For a long time.

Go check yours.

[DogFluffy @dogfluffyguide]

A reader left a nice comment on my blog.

The site went down.

Every approved comment cleared the cache on all 670 pages at once. My server rebuilt the whole site because someone said their Shih Tzu does that too.

The dangerous bug is never the one that looks dangerous.
