It's the top link in the XML Sitemap that is linked from robots.txt. This is how Search Engines generally find new content on large sites, rather than by crawling. i.e. https://www.phoronix.com/robots.txt https://www.phoronix.com/robots.txt contains: Sitemap: https://www.phoronix.com/sitemap.php And https://www.phoronix.com/sitemap.php https://www.phoronix.com/sitemap.php contains: <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>https://www.phoronix.com/review/raspberry-pi-5-benchmarks</loc> <lastmod>2023-09-28</lastmod> </url> ... </urlset> And generally search engines boost new content, which probably explains why it was among the top search results.
