How it works
01
Grant repo access
Fine-grained GitHub token with `contents:write` on your Cloudflare Pages–connected repo. Same Git-native security model as Next.js + Vercel — no dashboard OAuth, no org-wide repo access.
02
Framework-aware audit
effectly.ai detects your stack (Next.js on Cloudflare via `@cloudflare/next-on-pages`, Astro, SvelteKit, Remix, Nuxt, static HTML) and audits metadata, schema, sitemap, and `_redirects` coverage using framework conventions.
03
PR → Preview deploy → Merge
effectly.ai opens a PR; Cloudflare Pages builds a preview deployment automatically. Lighthouse and schema checks run in CI. Auto-merge when green, or review the preview URL and diff in semi-auto mode — production stays untouched until merge.
What effectly.ai writes
| Element | Example |
|---|---|
| Metadata files | Framework-specific (metadata exports, frontmatter, head config) |
| _redirects | Cloudflare Pages redirect syntax; 301 consolidation, splats |
| _headers | Cache-Control, security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options) |
| Schema JSON-LD | Structured data per route or content file |
| Sitemap / robots | Static XML, framework sitemap config, crawl directives |
| wrangler.toml | Awareness only — does not modify Worker bindings, KV, D1, or R2 config |
| Content files | MDX/Markdown, landing copy with SEO frontmatter |

Edge speed vs. Git safety
Manual SEO + scattered config
- SEO changes wait on developer commits — no autonomous PR queue
- No automated Lighthouse gate on every preview deploy
- Redirect management split between Cloudflare dashboard and repo
effectly.ai via Git + preview deploys
- Automated PRs with metadata, schema, and `_redirects` in version control
- Cloudflare Pages preview validates every change before production
- Redirect rules live in `_redirects` next to your content — one source of truth
Technical details
Auth method
Fine-grained GitHub Personal Access Token, `contents:write` on the target repo only — identical model to Netlify and Next.js + Vercel integrations.
Permission scope
No org-wide access to other repos. Cannot change GitHub Actions, branch protection, or Cloudflare account settings from the dashboard — effectly.ai only commits to Git.
Flow
Clone → branch (`seo/[date]-[description]`) → commit → PR → Cloudflare Pages preview deployment → CI → merge. Production deploy follows your usual Pages pipeline.
Cloudflare Pages writes
Redirects go to `_redirects` using Cloudflare Pages syntax. Performance and security headers go to `_headers`. effectly.ai does not use the Cloudflare dashboard for bulk redirects — everything stays in Git.
Wrangler & Workers
effectly.ai is aware of `wrangler.toml` for context but does not modify Worker script bindings, secrets, KV, D1, or R2. It targets static and framework content in the repo.
Safety
No direct production writes. Every SEO change is a PR; preview URLs prove the build before merge. Auto-merge only when your checks pass.
Rollback
Git revert → PR → merge → Pages redeploys. Roll back to any previous Git commit with a full audit trail.
FAQ
Does effectly.ai work with Cloudflare Workers?
effectly.ai targets Cloudflare Pages (Git-deployed sites). For Workers-based sites, effectly.ai writes to the Git repo — but doesn't modify Worker scripts or KV bindings directly.
What frameworks does effectly.ai support on Cloudflare Pages?
Next.js (via `@cloudflare/next-on-pages`), Astro, SvelteKit, Remix, Nuxt, Hugo, and static HTML. Framework detection is automatic.
Can effectly.ai manage Cloudflare bulk redirects?
effectly.ai writes redirect rules to `_redirects` in your repo. For Cloudflare's dashboard-based bulk redirects, effectly.ai flags the opportunity but requires manual configuration.
How fast do changes go live?
Cloudflare Pages typically deploys in under 30 seconds after merge. With auto-merge enabled, your SEO changes can go from PR to production in under 2 minutes.
Does this work with Cloudflare's full-stack (D1, R2, KV)?
effectly.ai doesn't interact with Cloudflare's data products. It writes to your Git repo and lets Cloudflare Pages handle the deploy.
