Search engine optimization is worse for `user-event` 14 than 13

[nickserv]

Describe the bug

Search engines appear to be prioritizing the docs for user-event 13 over 14. I believe this is related to 13 having a more mature URL, as it's similar to our other ecosystem pages, and we later split 14 into its own section.

To Reproduce

Search the web for user event or user-event.

Expected behavior

First result is 14 and 13 is lower priority.

Screenshots

First result is 13 and 14 is lower priority.

Additional context

Search engines tend to prioritize URLs that are frequently linked to and are higher quality. We might be able to fix this by redirecting the old ecosystem URL to user-event 14 or otherwise signaling that those docs are higher quality than for 13. Alternatively, we could retire the 13 docs if usage is low enough.

For anyone wanting to take this, the fix for this should probably be easy, renaming the file and adding a redirection should resolve it IMO.

Just to be sure, do you suggest the following?

• rename the current v13 docs to user-event/v13
• create a permanent redirect (308) from the current URL ecosystem-user-event to user-event/intro

Yeah @timdeschryver, I think this sums it up perfectly.
The redirect should be done through our netlify.toml file, there are already a few there so it should be quite straightforwards to anyone who wants to try.

@nickmccurdy @MatanBobi @timdeschryver , I'll happily work on this issue. I'll rename the current docs and create a redirect from ecosystem-user-event to user-event/intro

Does anybody need to add me as a contributor? I'm unable to push my branch.

[MatanBobi]

@smk267 you'll need to fork the repo, create the branch in your forked repo and then create a PR to this one. Feel free to reach out personally if you need assistance:)

Done, thanks.
