Turning on Cloudflare is only the beginning of a WordPress setup. In this conversation, I explain how DNS, origin certificate validation and cache rules fit together, then walk through the roles of R2 storage, Workers and email authentication. The useful distinction is what belongs at the edge and what still needs WordPress to understand the visitor. We discuss Full (strict) SSL, static asset cach...

Publishing more is not the same as building more value. This audio essay replaces the publish-and-pray model with a smaller, stronger operating system: audit what exists, consolidate overlap, protect research and editing time, repurpose each useful piece, and treat distribution as part of production. In this episode, Gaurav explains why publishing quotas create quality, authority, and distribution...
