Development Notes

• The site uses a custom caching system for git modification dates (.modDatesCache.json)
• HTML minification is optional via MINIFY_HTML environment variable
• Development mode includes all Tailwind classes via safelist
• Production builds are optimized with PurgeCSS and minification

Business Notes

• The business provides “seo hosting” packages. These are web hosting reseller packages based on cPanel/WHM, optimized for SEO agencies and professionals.
• Each package includes multiple IP addresses from different datacenters and with different c-class, b-class, and a-class IP addresses.
• When it comes to SEO Hosting and IP classes the definition of different class is loosely based on IP network subclasses in a way that if 2 IPs do not share the same octet are considered from different A class or when the first 2 octets do not match are from different B class and so on.
