Reply To: Traffic dropped after this latest update

Honestly, Yeah, I’d be a lot more suspicious of Google than the plugins at this point. One post falling off a cliff right after an update is annoying, sure, but if GSC isn’t screaming and you didn’t touch anything major, it’s probably just one of those lovely little wobble periods. I’ve had posts do that and then half come back a few days later for no obvious reason. Still, I’d check the page source once just to rule out some dumb canonical/noindex nonsense. Not because I think that’s the main story, just because WordPress plugins love being useless in creative ways.
