Make near-copy pages distinct

Rewrite or merge pages that share most of their text. A page that only swaps a city or product name is what search engines treat as doorway or scaled content.
Once, for the whole site
- 8
Speed up the server
Under a point
Cache pages or speed up the server. Crawlers give a slow site fewer visits.
Once, for the whole site
- 9
Add an llms.txt

Add /llms.txt: a short plain text map of the site for assistants. Its effect is unproven, so treat it as cheap insurance.
Once, for the whole site
- 10
Fix title lengths
Under a point
