Table Of Contents
The SSR server provides a Markdown "mirror" of every rendered page under the same URL with an added .md suffix (for example, /en/home → /en/home.md).
These mirrors are intended for machine consumers, such as search crawlers and large language models (LLMs).
Accessing a Mirror
Append .md to any page path.
The mirror renders the same page and returns its main content converted to Markdown with Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=UTF-8.
Each HTML page also advertises its mirror through a Link: </en/home.md>; rel="alternate"; type="text/markdown" response header.
What Is Included
Only the main content of the page (<main id="main-content">) is converted.
Page chrome such as header, footer, navigation, scripts, forms, and other interactive, non-content, or screen-reader-only UI elements is stripped.
The specific conversion rules and PWA-specific tweaks are described in src/ssr/html-to-markdown.ts.
Implementation
The conversion is implemented using Turndown and runs in plain Node.js without a browser DOM.
The .md route is registered in server.ts.
No configuration is required; mirrors are available whenever SSR is running.
Mirrors follow the same caching behavior as regular pages.
