TL;DR

I migrated humadroid’s website from WordPress to Rails because I was tired of fighting with hosting providers and plugin conflicts. Built custom scraping scripts, exported everything to Markdown, and automated SEO optimization with background jobs. Made several painful mistakes: forgot to remove old URLs from Search Console, used 301 redirects instead of 410 status codes, and nearly tanked my SEO with trailing slash inconsistencies. Now I have a faster site, cleaner code, and automated content workflows. Worth it.
