Huh. Within the last few weeks I had occasion to visit BWT because there was a question somewhere hereabouts, and I realized I hadn't looked at BWT in years. I learned that they have idiotically discontinued the Site Redirect feature, which used to be better than G's and now does not exist at all. (And then had to go back to the asker and sadly tell them they’re SOL.)

I might have found other differences, but could not get past their recurring complaints that my pages' Titles (i.e. <title>, not <h1>) are “too short”. I worry about a service in the present decade that does not realize the sole function of a Title is to let you glance at your tabs and identify the one you want to switch to.

Grumble, grumble.

I concede, though, that the traditional “Webmaster Tools” is a more useful name than “Search Console”.

One of the great things is using more than one tool to learn, and I think that Microsoft Clarity just doesn't get enough attention. Such a useful tool. [webmasterworld.com...]
