Interpretation limits
What this report can—and cannot—say
The sample includes ranked .om homepages returning substantial Arabic content. It does not cover every website hosted in Oman, domains using other TLDs, internal pages, or JavaScript changes after the initial response. Country percentages can move as the ranked list and qualifying sample change.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many Omani websites use RTL correctly at the document root?
8 of 14 measured .om homepages (57%) 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 Oman.
Is this representative of every website in Oman?
No. The report measures 14 qualifying Arabic-language homepages from the .om portion of the Tranco ranked-domain list. It describes this sample and should not be generalized to every Omani 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.
