I rebuilt phyfun.com after 10 years — here's what I learnedHey IH 👋PhyFun started in 2010 as a physics game platform during the Flash

Hey IH 👋 PhyFun started in 2010 as a physics game platform during the Flash era. It grew, then sat dormant for years when Flash died. In 2024 I rebuilt it from scratch in PHP — full HTML5, mobile friendly, and this time with original games I developed myself using Cocos Creator. What phyfun.com is today: - Free browser games, playable instantly — no download, no account - Physics puzzles, casual games, tower defense - Original titles like Cosmic Summon (gacha + tower defense) and Arrow Slide Puzzle - Works on desktop and mobile What I learned rebuilding an old site:Getting Google to re-index a rebuilt site is harder than starting fresh. Years of dormancy meant low crawl frequency, and the new PHP URL structure meant Google had to rediscover everything. Submitting a fresh sitemap, setting up 301 redirects from old URLs, and manually requesting indexing for key pages through Search Console helped — but it still took months. If you're rebuilding an old domain, budget extra time for SEO recovery. The domain authority is still there, but crawl trust takes time to rebuild. What's next: - More original games in development - Expanding the game library across more genres - Better SEO coverage for individual game pages Happy to answer questions about rebuilding an old web property, browser game development with Cocos Creator, or HTML5 game SEO. 👉 phyfun.com
