Search Console or Analytics for deciding what to prune?

Search Console or Analytics for deciding what to prune?
Q: Which tool do I trust when picking pages to cut?

A: Short answer: Search Console for the decision, Analytics only as a tiebreaker.

Longer answer: a page can get zero organic clicks but still pull traffic from your newsletter, a Reddit thread, or an internal link — Analytics shows that lifeline, Search Console doesn't. So Search Console tells you 'this page is invisible in search' (impressions + clicks over 16 months), and that's your primary signal. But before you delete, glance at Analytics to make sure the page isn't quietly earning referral or direct traffic you'd kill.

Using Analytics pageviews alone is the classic mistake — it bundles all sources and hides the search story you actually need.
