Need opinion to split the site for speed up the SEO process

[sagha]

We have two versions of our website English and Arabic. Arabic is in a sub-directory www.oncarx.com/ar (Not a Sub Domain).

When we started SEO, we found that most of our Articles are plagiarized and contain non-original content. We are almost done with the optimization of our Arabic articles.

English site contains too many articles and are not optimized for SEO.

For getting good results and speed up the process, which of the following idea is better?

• We should separate the English and Arabic sites.
• We should remove most of the articles from English site.

If there is any other good option, please let us know.

I would stick with what you have then optimize. I would also remove the english articles and come up with a separate content strategy for that. Itll save you time and keep things within a strategy so you can track performance better (but youll have to check if those articles already get traffic and links first)

Other options i could think of will need more time and a lot of changes (and cost)
