In my opinion, Yeah, I’d be looking at the content footprint first too, not plugins or cache nonsense. That “little bounce then flatline” pattern is something I’ve seen when Google gives a batch a quick re-check and then decides it still doesn’t trust the site much From my experience,. If both sites are running the same AI-ish base with just light edits, that’s typically the common thread. Could still be some other sitewide thing, but “random Google being random” is usually the lazy answer people jump to when the pattern is actually pretty consistent.
