Reply To: Traffic dropped after the weekend update

[crawl_void]

Yeah, that’s basically the pattern I’ve been seeing too. The annoying part is when GSC makes it look like the floor fell out, but then logs don’t really show a matching crawl change and it’s just Google shuffling junk around again. If the money pages are still getting crawled and indexed normally, I’m usually pretty skeptical that it’s a real “loss” on day one. What I’ve seen a few times is the drop lines up with snippet changes or intent weirdness more than anything else. So the page didn’t really die, it just got pushed under some uglier result set for a few days. Which is still a pain, obviously. If it’s still ugly by midweek, then yeah, I’d start looking at whether those pages got less crawl frequency, weird canonicals, or if Google started preferring some other URL variant. Otherwise I’d typically just leave it alone and wait for the dust to settle. Google loves…
