Usually, seriously, yeah, same kind of garbage here. Not a clean site issue, just enough pages getting smacked at once that it smells like Google doing its usual nonsense. I’d check the SERPs first before touching anything on-site. Half the time it’s not “your content sucks,” it’s just the result got shoved under a pile of junk and the clicks die even if the ranking doesn’t look totally wrecked. If GSC’s showing impressions down too, that’s the part that annoys me more. That’s usually not some random plugin flake-out. I’d still glance at crawl/indexing/canonicals cause Google loves inventing stupid little problems, but I wouldn’t start ripping the site apart over it. Honestly,
