Bug Description
Users reaching the end of a documentation page encounter a dead end with no guidance on what to read next. This increases bounce rate and reduces content discovery. Competitors use 'Related Pages' or 'You May Also Like' sections to keep users engaged and guide their learning journey.
Competitor Benchmark
- Ethereum: 'Related tutorials' section at bottom of guides
- Solana: 'Next Steps' with 3 related pages per article
- Stripe Docs: 'Related' sidebar with contextual recommendations
- Vercel: 'On this page' + 'Related' dual navigation
Affected Pages
- All tutorial and guide pages (50+ pages)
- High-impact pages:
/build/smart-contracts/ tutorials
/xdcchain/developers/ guides
/enterprise/ integration docs
/subnet/ setup guides
Blast Radius
- Primary: New developers learning XDC
- Secondary: Returning users exploring advanced topics
- Impact: Reduced bounce rate, increased time-on-site, better onboarding flow
Root Cause Analysis
Content is siloed. No taxonomy or tagging system connects related topics. The existing #130 (cross-links) adds manual inline links but does not provide automated discovery at end-of-page.
Proposed Solution
Option A: Manual Related Pages (Recommended for immediate fix)
Add related_pages to YAML frontmatter:
---
related_pages:
- /build/smart-contracts/deployment
- /learn/token-standards
- /xdcchain/developers/tools
---
Render as cards at bottom of page.
Option B: Tag-Based Auto-Recommendation
Add tags to pages, auto-suggest based on shared tags.
Additional Fixes Required
Acceptance Criteria
Raw Context
A developer finishing 'Hello World' contract has no guidance on what to learn next (token standards? deployment? testing?). They leave instead of continuing their journey.
