Four content properties.

Three of them publish. One never left WordPress. Every figure below was counted from public sitemap XML on 2026-09-12 — the same files you can open in a browser tab.

8,864articles — Counted from the public sitemaps of the four content properties, 2026-09-12.

3.2articles per day — Measured 2026-08-13 → 2026-09-12 across our two daily-publishing properties.

4content properties — Three publishing daily. One held back on WordPress as the control.

We publish the counts instead of a headline number, because a count is something you can reproduce and a headline number is something you have to take on trust.

Every number on this page is one you can reproduce yourself in about ten minutes — open the sitemaps and count. We publish the figures that survive that test, which is why you will find article counts and publishing cadence here rather than an audience number nobody can check.

The method is short enough to print in full. Each property's sitemap XML was fetched on 2026-09-12 and its article URLs counted. Cadence is the number of posts carrying a publish date inside a 30-day window, 2026-08-13 to 2026-09-12, divided by thirty. lifeatdubai.com is excluded from the cadence figure because its guides carry no publish date at all, so it cannot be measured from outside — which is why the row says so rather than leaving the column blank.

The control group

One property never migrated.

doctorsaroundglobe.com is still on WordPress and nothing has been published on it since 2025-02-20. It is also the only property in the network currently serving ads — Google AdSense, confirmed firing at runtime on both the homepage and an article page on 2026-09-12.

01Stale

97 posts in the WordPress REST API, oldest 2019-09-16, newest 2025-02-20. Its own post sitemap agrees. Nothing in roughly nineteen months, while the two properties where cadence is measurable published at 2.1 and 1.1 articles a day over the last thirty.

MEASURED

02Slow

Largest contentful paint between 4.7 and 11.4 seconds across four observations, 1,176 KB over 80 requests, under Chromium at 390×844 with the network throttled to 1.6 Mbps down and the CPU throttled 4×. The range is printed instead of a single figure because the figure is not stable run to run.

MEASURED

03And it is the only one earning

The four heaviest resources on that page are Google ad scripts, and they are the direct cause of the unstable paint. The property we abandoned is the one making ad money, and the ad code is a measurable part of what makes it unusable. That is the whole argument inside one domain.

THE POINT

The full comparison table, with the method and the date on it, is on the publishing infrastructure page →

Article counts from public sitemap XML; cadence from publish dates over a 30-day window, 2026-08-13 → 2026-09-12.
