Usually, personally, yeah, that recovery-then-faceplant pattern usually isn’t a plugin/cache thing. I’ve seen it when Google’s testing something and then just yanks it back, which is super helpful as always 🙄 The AI + light edits combo is typically worth side-eyeing though. Not saying that’s *the* cause, but if both sites got clipped together, I’d be looking at content quality signals before I’d start ripping the site apart.
