Yeah, that’s the bit I keep circling back to too — if crawl’s thinning out first, traffic usually follows after a bit. I’ve had a couple pages go from getting hit regularly to basically “eh, in most cases later” and then impressions start doing that slow slide. What’s annoying is it never looks dramatic in Search Console at first. Just less frequent hits, fewer pages getting refreshed, then suddenly the thing’s half-asleep and everyone wants to blame content quality like that explains anything. I’d be checking whether it’s sitewide or just certain sections getting ignored. If it’s only the newer stuff or a specific folder, that’s usually a different mess than a full-site wobble.
