Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many Egyptian websites use RTL correctly at the document root?
7 of 10 measured .eg homepages (70%) set both an Arabic language and dir="rtl" on the HTML element. This is a ranked ccTLD sample, not a census of every website in Egypt.
Is this representative of every website in Egypt?
No. The report measures 10 qualifying Arabic-language homepages from the .eg portion of the Tranco ranked-domain list. It describes this sample and should not be generalized to every Egyptian website.
Why compare percentage points rather than relative percentages?
Percentage-point differences make adoption rates directly comparable. A rate of 70% versus 60% is 10 percentage points higher; describing that as a relative percentage can exaggerate the practical gap.
