**Background:** I’ve recently stood up a new website using WordPress. It is an informational / technical reference website that will not have affiliate links. It will have display ads, though very minimal, to defray the cost of hosting/licenses. The information and topics are about legacy systems that’s used in my field/industry. These legacy systems have been in use years go, up to this day, and most likely will still be in use years from now. So in general, all the info on these legacy systems years ago have remained unchanged to this day, and will remain unchanged into the foreseeable future.
Right now, I have 27 long-form articles about these legacy systems polished and ready to publish (not AI-written). And I have 25 more long-form articles to work on (will not be AI-written). Working on adding to the list of article topics too. All these articles have/will have timeless or evergreen content. I’d like to think of it as if I’m writing a beginner’s textbook on the subject matter, where each textbook chapter is an article.
**The question:** In WordPress, should I publish these articles as “**posts**”, or as “**pages**”? Pros and cons when weighed against other factors (i.e. effect on SEO, SERP rankings, etc.)? Or does it not matter?
Thanks!

What is your permalink structure? First set that up how you want it. I find having no blog/prefix works great, and therefore will allow you to uses Posts, as Pages should be very concise and more (although not totally) static.
Also make use of custom post types when it makes sense.
Posts is suitable. Technically, pages are just a post type. Posts however add categories, and taxonomy. This is helpful for filtering and searching, indexing serp etc.
