SEO experiment: rewrite Web/API page titles 🧪

[caugner]

tl;dr

We're running an experiment starting Friday, April 19, 2024, to rewrite the page title of some pages in the Web APIs section of the English locale, and to measure its impact on search engine performance. Only the <title> of those pages is affected. No action from contributors or users is necessary.

Details

We have been working closely with an internal SEO expert to identify potential causes of a drop in search engine impressions in April 2023. As it coincides with the Web/API retitle project, and we cannot rule out a causal relationship, we're running an experiment to validate this hypothesis and inform further actions.

We have randomly selected 500 pages out of a list of 4824 Web/API pages in the English locale that were part of the retitle project, and are (partially) reverting the change to their <title> (but not to the <h1>) to see the impact of that change on search engine performance. We will be comparing impressions and clicks of the test group against the control group (the rest of the participating pages).

Most users won't see a difference, but the window/tab title for the pages in the test group will reflect the rewritten title, and search engine results will eventually show that title as well.

Example

• Page: /en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/clientTop
• Old title: Element.clientTop
• Current title: Element: clientTop property
• Title during experiment: Element.clientTop property

Is there any public data? Should the outcome be a validation of the hypothesis, I guess writers/contributors would have heavy work on their plates (mdn/mdn#284 's scale was not trivial) and I hope data will be provided in such a case.

[caugner]

We will share the result of this experiment, but we don't usually publish any raw data.

Please note that we have implemented this experiment in yari, so there is no additional work for contributors.

Conclusion

The experiment has ended on Thursday, May 30, 2024 with a non-significant result. We have not observed any significant difference in search engine impressions or clicks between the test group (500 pages with rewritten <title>) and the control group. This result confirms that the Web/API retitle project is not a cause for the drop in search engine impressions in April 2023.

As of Friday, May 31, 2024, the <title>s of the 500 pages are now again consistent with their page title, e.g. Element: clientTop property for /en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/clientTop.

[Elchi3]

Is there any data from the experiment about "AudioBuffer: AudioBuffer() constructor" vs "AudioBuffer() constructor"?
When Will and I discussed the Web/API retitle project, I was also proposing to use the shorter "AudioBuffer() constructor" format. I think for overall consistency we then went with the longer form.

[caugner]

Good question, I looked into the data, comparing the AudioBuffer: AudioBuffer() constructor against a) the test group, b) the control group and c) other AudioBuffer pages, but there was no significant difference to support that either performs better (neither in terms of impressions nor in terms of clicks), partly because numbers for that page are comparably low (only 10-20 daily clicks from Google in the last couple of weeks).
