Redesigning My Personal Site Before Graduation, Moving to Alibaba Cloud

Personal site redesign Personal site redesign

Graduation is coming soon. After three years of study at school, I’m no longer who I was — no longer spending half a day on Baidu just to modify an element on a webpage. I’ve learned a lot. On the eve of graduation, I moved my personal site off the virtual host and onto Alibaba Cloud, redesigning and modifying my personal blog. Let’s see what changed:

  1. Use Alibaba Cloud CDN service to fully separate static files from the site and request the CDN server.
  2. Use Alibaba Cloud ECS server, elastically scalable, change anytime.
  3. Add a web album section; temporarily remove the code library section.
  4. Have an independent IP address, accessible directly via IP.
  5. The admin backend requires HTTPS access and presents a digital certificate to verify identity; even knowing the password you can’t log into the backend.
  6. No longer care about SEO; focus only on blog content. Separating static files speeds up page loading, and the Alibaba Cloud server doesn’t need too much bandwidth, saving costs.

With an independent IP, you can apply for an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS encrypted access.

The admin backend requires HTTPS access and presents a digital certificate to verify identity; even knowing the password you can’t log into the backend. Direct backend access is forbidden; you must use HTTPS and present a certificate to continue.

No longer caring about SEO; just writing my own blog. I’m not an SEO person and have no right to teach others SEO.
