KV is the wrong tool here and I learned it the expensive way. Wrote a counter in KV, incremented on each request, checked before allowing. It looked fine in testing with me clicking.

Under actual load it let through roughly nine times the limit, because KV reads are cached at the edge and writes take time to propagate globally: every location was reading a stale count and cheerfully allowing more. It's not a bug, it's what KV is for, and I'd used it as a mutex. Durable objects exist precisely because that doesn't work.

The upsell criticism isn't baseless, claim rates on title policies are low relative to premium volume, and that's a fair thing to notice out loud. I bought mine anyway, but I shopped the rate rather than accepting the closing agent's default. Ask whether simultaneous-issue pricing applies when both policies are written together.

Whichever you choose, own the list. Even if it is a page with a form and a CSV of email addresses for the first six months. The single most valuable asset from two years of writing has been about 3,000 addresses I can reach without asking anyone's permission, and the platform where I originally found most of them has changed its distribution twice since.

What's happening chemically is that you've changed the ratio between gas production and acid production. The bacteria in your levain still make acid at their own pace, so a faster rise simply means less acid per gram of bread by the time it goes in the oven - that's the whole flavour difference, and it's a dial rather than a switch. Separate point worth knowing: what may legally be labelled sourdough is defined in some jurisdictions, so if you ever sell any of this, check the local rules rather than the internet's opinion.

Overlap does not fix a bad boundary. It gives you two chunks that both straddle it.

When I merge I keep the older URL as the surviving one, because it usually has the links and the history, and 301 the newer one into it. People instinctively keep the newer, better-written page and then wonder why the merged article underperforms both.

Check what queries you're getting impressions for. If they're wildly off topic, the pages aren't clear about what they answer. If they're on topic but you're at position 40, that's normal early-site behaviour and it will creep up. Very different problems that look the same on a graph.
