i'd focus on fewer better pages. my first site had way too much content that never really got traffic.
What would you do differently if you had to grow your first website again?

I would probably starts by trying to optimise the website for long tail keywords instead of high volume key words because in all honesty there was way too mch fluff built up from the start that no one ever searched for.

would of started the buffer sites on day 1 instead of month 8. spent the first year trying to get links to the money site direct and got nowhere, once i had 3 buffers with there own age and content everything moved. also would of ignored the quality over quantity crowd sooner lol

I would keep the site simple and focus on useful content. I would plan things better from the start and avoid trying too many things at once. I would also be patient and give the site time to grow.
I would not have given up on trying to make the site grow earlier. i should have focused on a tight group of topics, got a few pages to ranks and built from there.

I’d spend less time trying to perfect everything from the start I think getting a few things live seeing what actually brings results and then improving from there saves a lot of time

start with basics and try different topics see what gets real traffic and engagement.then focus more on the things that actually work

I would validate search demand and monetization before scaling content, then focus resources on pages already showing impressions instead of publishing endlessly.

If I were to start entirely over, I would stop overanalyzing every minor technical detail and instead focus immediately on building content pipelines.

i'd set up proper conversion tracking from day one.
on my first sites i cared way too much about traffic and rankings without knowing which pages actually produced leads/sales. you can spend months growing traffic that looks good in analytics but does almost nothing for the business.
now i'd rather have 20 pages where i know exactly what converts than 200 pages getting random traffic.

I just started a new one, I was hesitant but I liked the idea of taking 20 years of learning and starting fresh. I'll make sure it's fun so I don't get too bummed if it fails
I'm doing a lot different. First I'm going deep into AI, I'm focusing more on a free decent version that's safe then starting a paid plan, I'm leaning on some other services that are simply better at what they do than I am. CDN type stuff. And I'm keeping customer support hands on, no AI for that, I see people already getting tired of AI bots and FAQ loops fast!
