In modern SEO, UX is where human behavior, technical performance, and search engine expectations collide\u2014and that collision decides whether your rankings <em data-start=\"391\" data-end=\"397\">hold<\/em> or <em data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"407\">leak<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote><p data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"690\">If SEO gets the click, UX determines what happens next: whether the user stays, scrolls, trusts, converts, and explores.
