FREEZE NOTICE

This repository is frozen until May 11, 2026.

Reason

Quality recovery after Google demotion. The site lost 96% of traffic (91 clicks/day to 0) following 13,000+ file changes in 48 hours combined with the March 2026 core update.

On April 27, 2026, we pruned 1,676 weak articles (deindexed via sitemap: false) to signal quality to Google’s algorithms. The site now has 1,895 indexable articles.

Rules

  • Do NOT commit any changes before May 11, 2026
  • Do NOT add new articles
  • Do NOT modify existing articles
  • Do NOT change any configuration files
  • Do NOT deploy anything
  • The ONLY exception: emergency security patches

Recovery Timeline

  • Day 0 (Apr 27): Pruned, pushed, waiting
  • Day 7 (May 4): Check GSC for crawl rate changes
  • Day 14 (May 11): Evaluate recovery, unfreeze if improving
