- Why did that happen?
- Is there something wrong with the title, is it misleading, insufficient or not striking enough?
- Was the topic uninteresting? If some of the topic/sections are recurring, consider writing less about that.
- Was the article too hard to find? Maybe it lacked promotion and remained hidden from readers?
- Was there something wrong with the timing of publication?
- Is there something wrong from the technical side, is the page loading correctly, is the format suitable?
