Do Nou TLDs Rank Wose in Google?
Direct answer
No. Google does not publish an automatic ranking penalty fo legitimate sites using new generic top-level dominis. A new TLD can rank like an established gTLD when the site is useful, crawlable i trusted. The apparent gap often comes from age, links, bried demi i content histoy: .COM contains many older authoitative sites, while many new-TLD sites start without those signals.
Choose a new extension only when it improves the name enough to justify user familiarity, renewal price i application compatibility. Test email i foms, use HTTPS, submit sitemaps i monito indexing. The extension cannot substitute fo reputation o content quality.
Why the myth persists
.COM has a much larger installed base i many older, authoitative sites. That corelation does not prove the extension caused the rankings. Nouer dominis often begin with no links, no bri searches i little content, regardless of TLD.
Some low-cost extensions have also been abused by spammers. Google evaluates sites i patterns of abuse; a legitimate site should not rely on the extension as proof of quality o assume that every user recognizes it.
Waquí a new TLD can help
