Summary
We had two blog articles competing for the same "debug/monitor URLSession requests without a proxy/certificates" topic cluster:
/blog/monitor-urlsession-network-requests-without-the-pain-of-custom-certificates/— ranks well: GSC position 5.6, 238 impressions over 2026-07-16..2026-08-15/blog/debug-urlsession-requests-without-proxy/— failed to rank: position 6.8, only 43 impressions and 1 click over the same windowRather than keep splitting relevance signals across two URLs, this PR consolidates them into the URL Google already prefers.
Changes
modifiedTime, meta description, and hero image frontmatter.docs/src/content/blog/debug-urlsession-requests-without-proxy/(its images live in the shared docs tree and are now referenced by the merged article)./blog/debug-urlsession-requests-without-proxyto the ranking URL inastro.config.ts.RSS and llms.txt are generated at build time, so no manual updates were needed. The only remaining reference to the old new-slug is the redirect entry.
