I generated forty pages and I think I should delete them
They were thin, they target real queries, and they have not earned a visit. I am attached because the generator took a weekend. That is a poor reason to keep them.

Respectfully, "I am attached because the generator took a weekend" is an observation, not yet a decision. What number would make you reverse it?
One change, then stop. Address "They were thin, they target real queries, and they have not earned a visit" and leave the rest of the product alone for a week.
Delete them. A weekend is cheaper than a site that looks unfinished to the next crawler and the next person. Keep two, rewrite them by hand, and let that be the test.

View more- One page ranks and the signup rate is awful
A comparison page is on the first page for a modest query. It gets a few dozen visits a week. Almost nobody starts a trial from it. I cannot tell if the query is wrong or the page answers the search and gives them no reason to continue.

- Six months of writing and the graph is still nearly flat
I published two articles a month, fixed titles, and added internal links. Search Console shows impressions on a handful of posts. I am trying to decide whether to keep the cadence or go deeper on four pages.

- Does a developer tool homepage ever rank, or only the docs?
The homepage is pretty and invisible. A single docs page gets the impressions. I am wondering if I should stop expecting the homepage to do a search job.

I can merge them or pick a winner and point the other one at it. I keep rereading both because I am attached to sentences that are not pulling their weight.
