Reply To: Traffic dropped after adding new plugin?

Usually, yeah, I’d still blame the plugin before I start doing the whole “Google is broken” dance. If it touched output at all, even indirectly, that’s enough to make GSC look weird for a bit. I’ve had one stupid plugin mess with rendered links and it took longer to spot than it should’ve. Roll it back if you can and see if the noise settles. If it doesn’t, then maybe it’s just normal GSC wobble, but right after a plugin swap is pretty suspect.
