Yeah, same here. I’ve got one affiliate site that got absolutely slapped mid-week and there wasn’t even a clean pattern to it, which is the annoying part. What bugs me is when people jump straight to “content quality” like that explains everything. Sure, sometimes the page is junk, but when a bunch of decent pages move at once after no real changes, that smells more like crawl/indexing or one of Google’s little mood swings. I checked logs and GSC and got basically nothing useful, which is par for the course. If it’s a plugin/theme issue, it’s usually obvious enough when the whole site gets weird, but this looked more like selective garbage from Google’s side. Haven’t touched anything yet because half the time these things just bounce back on their own and then everybody starts acting like they solved it. Nathan’s probably gonna say “watch the content” again, but yeah, not buying that as the only answer here. Fair enough. Honestly,
