Yeah, I’ve seen that slow bleed too. Usually it’s not the dramatic “site nuked” kind of thing, just one day the pages stop getting pushed and then everything kind of rots in place. What’s been weird on a couple of my props is the crawl looks normal, index is still there, but the pages just don’t *move* anymore. Like Google’s happy to keep them around, just not happy to send anything to them. That’s the part that makes me think it’s not just random churn. I’d be looking at whether the whole footprint got less sticky after this update. I’ve had stuff that used to hold for weeks now fall apart in a day or two. Could be they tightened up on the parasite patterns again. Hard to tell because they never make it obvious, obviously. That’s been my experience anyway.
