Lately, I’ve been experimenting with one-page websites, and I’m honestly amazed at how effective they can be. There’s something elegant about the simplicity: One site — one function. Nothing extra, just a clear purpose. No registration, no unnecessary complexity. Users get what they need instantly. Fast and lightweight. Loads in a second, works perfectly even on slow connections. Easy to build and maintain. No need for frameworks or CMS bloat. For testing purposes, I’ve built a few minimal websites myself, like: https://pdfmerger.site/ — a simple PDF merging tool https://qrcode-maker.site/ — a quick QR code generator What’s surprising is that some of these sites have started to rank on Google, even though they contain almost no text — just a title, a short description, and the core function. The photo shows recent statistics for the qrcode-maker website. Yes, there are not many impressions on Google yet, but 1 week has passed from creation to the first impressions. And I hope for the best. Also, Google started to give preference to sites that solve a specific user problem. And to sites that were simply stuffed with keywords, it gives less preference. This was tested on my site. When I added a long description for qrcode-maker, the impressions simply dropped to 0. After that, I removed the long description and left 1 sentence. Short and clear and the impressions are gradually recovering It really proves that simplicity and utility can go a long way — especially when the website genuinely solves a small, focused problem. Tell us, do you know of any other similar "one site, one page, one function" sites?
That’s not traffic, and there shouldn’t be any anyway. The sites have no content, and Google has nothing to rank. Maybe those impressions are random, or Google is just testing something. A one-page site means a proper landing page with text and information, not just a blank page. 5 clicks in 3 months mean nothing. Most likely, they’re your own checks in search results.
As a minimalist, I approve of a one page website; get to the point, get your info and get right out. No chasing the goose, just catching the info immediately.
