3. 3

   DNS can take time, and a half-propagated record will fail verification. Re-check from site settings instead of changing the record again out of impatience. Until verification succeeds, do not treat the custom domain as live. Publishing a month of posts to the platform host and then switching splits the URLs you just asked search engines to index. Wait, verify, then turn the cadence on. If verification keeps failing, the record is wrong or it has not propagated. Read the hostname you typed against the record you created before you generate more content.

4. 4

   From then on, indexing and the sitemap use your hostname, not a platform subdomain.
