Reply To: Traffic dropped after this latest update

Yeah, I’d be looking at GSC impressions first too, not just the traffic chart. If it’s one affiliate post and the timing lines up right after plugin updates, I’d still sanity-check the page source for anything weird — canonical changing, noindex by accident, schema getting mangled, that sort of thing. Seen a dumb plugin update break stuff in ways that don’t scream “site is broken” right away. But honestly, if it’s been “all over the place for days,” that sounds a lot more like Google wobbling than your WordPress install suddenly going off the rails. The annoying part is it can look like a site issue even when it isn’t. If you’ve got a few posts doing it, I’d stop obsessing over plugins unless you can point to a specific change. That’s usually a dead end.
