Problem

Take https://search.google.com/search-console/performance/search-analytics, developers were quick to jump into the opportunity to replace their search for "material ui" to "mui", I imagine because it's faster to type:

Noooo

Solution

  1. Make landing on https://mui.com/material-ui/ from Google a faster way to reach Material UI docs than landing on https://mui.com/. So reduce the advantage of the shorter "mui" search query over typing "material ui".
  2. Break the narrative of MUI homepage hosting the installation instructions of Material UI

It will be even better with #37608

@oliviertassinari were you thinking of linking the Core page instead? Something like "Discover the Core products"?

Were you thinking of linking the Core page instead? Something like "Discover the Core products"?

@danilo-leal Not necessarily but it sounds like a good option. Do you have a preference?

It's tricky as we don't have anything immediately better to link to, but maybe directing to the Core page is better than having the main call to action of the homepage directing to the Material UI docs, which, to me, only reinforces the "MUI equals to Material UI" confusion.

Definitely looking forward to revamping the homepage soon so it better exposes everything we have to offer and then possibly coming up with another destination for the main cta but, for the time being, maybe that's a bit better? It doesn't necessarily make getting to the Material UI docs faster, though.
