Deployment Guide

Blocked: Domain Not on Cloudflare

Step-by-step guide to deploy the Cloudflare Worker and load content variants once the domain is on Cloudflare.

---

Prerequisites

• [ ] andersonhemmat.com added to Cloudflare (nameserver change or DNS proxy)
• [ ] Orange-cloud proxy enabled on the A record for andersonhemmat.com
• [ ] Wrangler CLI installed: npm install -g wrangler
• [ ] Wrangler authenticated: wrangler login

Step 1: Verify Cloudflare Proxy is Active

After DNS change, verify CF proxy headers appear:

curl -sI https://andersonhemmat.com/practice-areas/car-accident-lawyers | grep -E "cf-ray|server|cf-cache"

Expected output:

cf-ray: 8xxx-ORD
server: cloudflare
cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC

If you still see server: nginx, the orange cloud is not active yet.

---

Step 2: Create KV Namespaces

# Create variants store
wrangler kv:namespace create "AI_VARIANTS"
# Note the ID returned

# Create visits log
wrangler kv:namespace create "AI_VISITS_LOG"
# Note the ID returned

---

Step 3: Load Variants into KV

From the anderson-hemmat-ai-visibility/ directory:

# Load Markdown variant
wrangler kv:key put --binding=AI_VARIANTS "md" "$(cat variant-markdown.md)"

# Load Stripped HTML variant
wrangler kv:key put --binding=AI_VARIANTS "html" "$(cat variant-stripped-html.html)"

# Load Schema-heavy variant
wrangler kv:key put --binding=AI_VARIANTS "schema" "$(cat variant-schema-heavy.html)"

Verify the uploads:

wrangler kv:key list --binding=AI_VARIANTS

Expected output:

[
  {"name": "md"},
  {"name": "html"},
  {"name": "schema"}
]

---

Step 4: Update wrangler.toml

Create wrangler.toml in the project directory:

name = "anderson-hemmat-ai-variants"
main = "cloudflare-worker.js"
compatibility_date = "2026-01-01"

[[routes]]
pattern = "andersonhemmat.com/practice-areas/car-accident-lawyers*"
zone_name = "andersonhemmat.com"

[[kv_namespaces]]
binding = "AI_VARIANTS"
id = "<AI_VARIANTS_NAMESPACE_ID>"

[[kv_namespaces]]
binding = "AI_VISITS_LOG"
id = "<AI_VISITS_LOG_NAMESPACE_ID>"

Replace <AI_VARIANTS_NAMESPACE_ID> and <AI_VISITS_LOG_NAMESPACE_ID> with the IDs from Step 2.

---

Step 5: Deploy

wrangler deploy

Verify in Cloudflare dashboard: Workers and Pages > anderson-hemmat-ai-variants > Routes

---

Step 6: Test the Worker

Test with a known bot User-Agent:

# Test with GPTBot UA
curl -sI "https://andersonhemmat.com/practice-areas/car-accident-lawyers" \
  -H "User-Agent: GPTBot/1.0" | grep -E "x-variant|x-bot-type|x-bot-confidence|content-type"

Expected response headers:

x-variant: md
x-bot-type: openai
x-bot-confidence: high
content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Test with ClaudeBot:

curl -s "https://andersonhemmat.com/practice-areas/car-accident-lawyers" \
  -H "User-Agent: ClaudeBot/1.0" | head -5

Expected: Markdown content starting with # Denver Car Accident Lawyers

Test with human UA (should get normal page):

curl -sI "https://andersonhemmat.com/practice-areas/car-accident-lawyers" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36" | grep server

Expected: Normal origin headers (no x-variant header).

---

Step 7: Update variants (when content changes)

When firm adds new verdicts, new attorneys, or updated stats:

# Update just the MD variant
wrangler kv:key put --binding=AI_VARIANTS "md" "$(cat variant-markdown-updated.md)"

# Worker automatically serves the new content — no redeploy needed

---

Troubleshooting

Problem	Check
Worker not firing	Verify route pattern includes * wildcard
Variant not served	Check KV namespace IDs in wrangler.toml match created namespaces
Human traffic getting variants	Check classifyRequest — bot score threshold may be too aggressive
500 errors	Check wrangler tail for JS errors

# Watch live Worker logs
wrangler tail anderson-hemmat-ai-variants
