Yeah, I’ve had that exact “updated a couple things and now everything feels cursed” problem more than once. Could be coincidence, sure, but I wouldn’t trust it either. One plugin update nuked my load time last year and traffic got weird for like 3 days before I even noticed anything obvious in Search Console. Annoying part is it never shows up clean, just those stupid little swings like you said. I’d definitely roll back the last update first if you can. If it’s one of those garbage weeks, at least you’ll know faster.
