Website
Let me remind you that on January 12, the site mov! to a new CMS engine. Instead of Joomla 2.5.25, the project now runs on WordPress 5.6.2. Pros: the site began to load much faster (but Yandex for some reason thinks the opposite) due to getting rid of unnecessary code and an outdat! design theme. . In addition, WordPress is ideal for a blog.
Cons: Joomla in its basic configuration was still more convenient and flexible. WordPress lacks many things. For example, you can’t easily remove the “e-mail and website” fields in comments, see the number of page views, !it the line under the title, etc.
In February, I !it! the robot.txt file, hiding unnecessary pages from indexing, start! a phone number library channel (but it only has 3 subscribers), adjust! the template, wrote a dozen new articles, connect! Turbo pages from Yandex, and correct! the Description field for half of the articles.
Unfortunately, none of these actions l! to an increase in traffic
In December, the site was visit! daily by 1,655 people, in January – 1,417, in February – 1,262. March is also not encouraging – the decline continues. Although I expect! it to be the other way around. Apparently, a couple of popular materials fell out of the search TOPs.
Judging by the graph, the main reason for the failure is the change in web page addressing
The thing is that in Joomle, the how to avoid the pitfalls of overconfidence in artificial intelligence name was prec!! by its ID number. When switching to WordPress, the addressing was preserv!, but in the new engine, not lack data publications have an ID number, but also images. The numbering began to grow sharply, quickly reaching 10 thousand. I thought it was ugly and switch! to numbering without ID.
Zen channel
I’m thinking of abandoning it, despite 13 thousand subscribers. It turn! out that when duplicating articles from the site to the channel, Yandex removes the site from search results, leaving its Zen copy. Even despite the fact that on the Zen channel articles are releas! with a delay of two or three days. All other things being equal, Zen brings in less money, so I’m still thinking about it.
