Translated version of the messaged shared by the Turbo team.

During the experiment, we closely monitored user metrics and came to the conclusion that on desktop traffic, Turbo pages do not give such a noticeable increase in these indicators as on mobile.

Starting May 24, Turbo desktop pages will stop working and traffic will be directed to the original version of your site. No additional action will be required on your part, ”says Yandex’s letter.
