#Content pruning

Deciding what to delete, merge or redirect when a blog has grown past what it can maintain. We cover how to identify pages that no longer earn their place, why merging two thin articles usually beats keeping both, and how to redirect without losing what the old URL had. You will find the cases where deletion is right and the cases where it destroys something that was quietly working. We also cover doing this safely on a site where automation keeps publishing while you prune. You will also find how to decide the order, because the pages that look worst are rarely the ones to start with. We finish with the record worth keeping, so a merge you make this quarter is still explainable next year.
