Reply To: Traffic keeps bouncing for no reason

In most cases, yeah, I’d still lean host / crawl consistency before anything else. That “same posts vanish then come back” thing is usually not some mystical Google mood swing. I’ve seen it when the server gets a bit flaky under bot load, or the crawl response changes enough that Google keeps re-testing the pages. Browser looks fine, logs tell a different story. Also, affiliate plugins can be noisy, but I wouldn’t pin it on Astra or Rank Math first. Those get blamed for everything on here. The weak hosting part is the one that jumps out to me more than anything.
