Methodology
How this was measured
Fetched each of the 36 public SEO and web-performance guide articles from software vendors and developer publications and counted the pages whose JSON-LD declares an Article (or sub-type) or FAQPage node.
One observation: Whether the page's own JSON-LD declares an Article (or sub-type) or FAQPage node.
How the cohort was chosen: The same hand-curated cohort as seo-guide-articles-answer-block.txt (2026-09-04), reused deliberately so the figures describe the same set of pages and can be quoted side by side. Every URL was fetched once with this app's own Kinetix-Auditor/1.0 user agent on 2026-09-04 and confirmed to return HTTP 200 with an H1; one URL per host, no customer data and no private endpoint involved.
Every request was a single polite fetch per site with a short timeout and no retries. Only aggregate counts are published — no per-site result.
Limitations
What this figure does not tell you
- The cohort is a named, hand-curated list, not a random sample of the web. The share describes these sites, not every site.
- It is one measurement on the date shown. Any site can change its setup the next day.
- 3 of the 39 listed URLs could not be reached or read on the day and were left out of the sample rather than counted either way.
- Only JSON-LD present in the served HTML was read. Markup injected later by JavaScript, or written as Microdata or RDFa, is not counted, so the share is a lower bound.
