Yes, I noticed the same trend. Older articles often rank better because they have had more time to build authority, backlinks, and search visibility. I usually update and refresh those posts to maintain their performance.
 
Most of my traffic still comes from articles I published over a year ago. Those posts have had more time to build search rankings, attract backlinks, and gain trust with readers and search engines. New content often takes longer to achieve similar visibility, especially in competitive niches. That's why I focus on updating and improving older high performing articles while continuing to publish new content.
 
This is common. Older articles have built authority, backlinks and trust over time , while newer pieces are facing more competition. Updating and improving your top performing old articles often brings better results than pushing out lots of new content.
 
Older posts often gain authority over time, so the best move is to update, optimize, and internally link your new content to those high performing pages to boost fresh rankings.
