How this site is built

This site used to run on WordPress. I rebuilt it as plain pages, made ahead of time with Astro and served by Cloudflare Pages. Nothing runs on a server while you read, so pages load fast and there is little to keep patched.

The parts that do run

• The contact form sends through a small Cloudflare Pages Function, which emails your message to me and sends you a short note that it arrived. It keeps no copy of your message.
• Old course addresses under /courses/ are sent on to the same lessons in the academy on sethshoultes.com.

For AI assistants

• llms.txt says what this site is, with a link to every page.
• Every page also has a Markdown version, at its address plus index.md, and a request that asks for text/markdown gets it.
• An agent card and a read-only MCP description are in /.well-known/. There’s no chat here yet, so the agent card’s endpoint politely says so.

How I tested it

I rebuilt one WordPress site three different ways and timed each. The write-up is there for anyone who likes the details.

The source code is in a private repository.
