Usually, yeah, I’d stop staring at Search Console like it’s gonna confess something. That pattern usually smells more like crawl/host inconsistency than “Google randomly hates me this week.” If the same URLs are wobbling in and out, I’d be looking at logs, TTFB, 5xxs, bot throttling, weird cache behavior, that sort of boring junk. LiteSpeed + mediocre hosting can absolutely make a site look fine in a browser and still be a mess for Googlebot. I’d be least suspicious of Astra. Rank Math and affiliate plugins can add noise, sure, but they’re usually not the whole story unless something’s really broken.
