If you have a blog running at blog.mycompany.com, that is not going to be as effective for SEO as if the blog were at mycompany.com/blog. You want your primary domain getting the credit. But it’s also not ideal to have a separate subfolder if you have two different services (blog and main product).

So the best solution is to reverse proxy so that internet traffic hits /blog, but the worker is actually forwarding the traffic to your internal service.

Got it. So you do that through a Cloudflare worker? Aren’t you loosing the caching perks from cloudflafe? It would nice to be able to do that directy through a page rule.

There are probably multiple ways to reverse proxy, it’s just that CF workers are versatile to handle many use cases. You don’t have to lose the caching benefits. You can still pull your assets through Cloudflare CDN since workers operate at the request level (afaik).

In fact it can be even more performant. You can use Workers KV to cache as well. So a request comes in, check KV store, return if found. If not, pull from asset CDN.
