This website was redesigned a little while back, and the replacement is still missing a lot of useful content that was on its predecessor.
For example, although tor --help still sends users to https://www.torproject.org/, as far as I know it's impossible to find the daemon documentation starting from there. The older website https://2019.www.torproject.org/ does have these docs, but it's surprisingly hard to turn up in a search. (You're much more likely to turn up old documentation on one of the man pages sites.)
It's interesting to compare https://www.torproject.org/ and https://2019.www.torproject.org/ more generally. To my eyes, the new site is uglier, less inviting and less useful, but I'm probably just getting old so my tastes don't align with fashion, if they ever did!
