Hello BHW members, how are you doing?

I see a lot of people are making new websites, creating new domains, then buying or making backlinks, making their website to be SEO optimized, investing a lot of time to rank higher on Google search, so I wanted to talk about this.

Why the hell pages.dev domain ranks better than most good websites?

Let's start from me, I have websites about something, and can't talk about what I'm doing.
I've done everything to make my website good, made backlinks, purchased high quality backlinks, SEO optimized, my websites are from 3-5 years old and even shitty competitors rank better than those that don't have nice content or stuff on their websites.

Then, I've made a website on pages.dev, so I don't even have a purchased domain, just domainname.pages.dev website.

My pages.dev website is 2 months old, same shit as on my other website, added same content, same stuff, same SEO optimized, ZERO BACKLINKS and it can be found in top 10 on google search. My free website on pages.dev is ranking better than my competitors, I get more sales and more traffic.

From now on, I always make websites on pages.dev and I don't care about buying a web hosting or a domain and then wasting a bunch of time ranking that website.

By the way, this is from my experience, everyone's experience can be different. The thing I'm doing is competitive and not that easy to rank for, but with pages.dev it was much much easier.

Anyone else had the same experience with pages.dev? You can share here.

So, what do I have from files on my pages.dev website:

- Index.html my single page website, made with DeepSeek AI and it's modern looking, clean and looks very powerful.
- Added files from Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
- Added robots.txt file.
- Added sitemap.xml file.
- Added favicon.png image.

While my other websites that are from 3-5 years old, have a purchased hosting and domain, they are made in WordPress, purchased a theme, wasting time editing content, installing plugins, then something gets broken because of a god damn plugin, then downloading plugins for SEO, optimizing each page and losing my nerves.

Thank you for reading, now I feel better haha...

honestly speaking, it appear that this is more of a light weight approach compared to pages. dev. In case if the same content rank on pages.dev, then it is definitely worth considering.
 
interesting test but i wouldnt give pages.dev all the credit yet.

your pages.dev version is also a lightweight static page while the older sites are wordpress with themes/plugins etc, so there are quite a few variables changing at once.

i'd copy the exact same html onto a fresh normal domain and compare both for a month or two. that would tell you much more clearly whether pages.dev itself is giving you something or the simpler site is just performing better.
 
Sites on Pages.dev is a what we call parasites. Their ranking come and go. At the moment they are ranking purely due to the authority of their parent domain.
Once the spammers start spamming if they are not already I pretty sure they are google will sooner than later hit it with with penalty. It will most likely be a blanket penalty because it hits at the domain level and so all its subdomains will also get hit and deranked.

Well for now enjoy while it lasts and thanks for letting know about pages.dev.
 
pages.dev inherits Cloudflare's domain auth which is massive so your subdomain starts with a trust advantage that a fresh custom domain takes time to build.
 
pages.dev ranking is cloudflare authority on loan, thats a parasite, same as blogger or a subreddit. nothing wrong with using it but dont read it as your domain being bad. i treat pages like that as a buffer layer << the parasite page ranks, links to the real site, and i push tier 2 from ser at the parasite so it stays crawled. when it drops (it will) the real site kept the links and moves on. your new domain isnt losing to pages.dev, its losing to a domain that borrowed 20 years of authority
