Honestly, yeah, same here. Not a clean “site exploded” kind of drop, just that annoying slow bleed where a few pages get kneecapped and everything else starts looking suspicious. And of course it’s always “maybe your content sucks” until u actually look at the SERPs and see Google stuffing the page with junk. Real helpful stuff, as usual. I’d be way more interested in whether the impressions fell first, because clicks dying alone can just be layout garbage, but if impressions are down too then something shifted. Could be an update, could be them fiddling with intent again, could be one of those lovely “we changed nothing” weeks where Google changes everything. I’m not touching anything major until I’ve checked a couple days of SERPs and GSC patterns. If it’s across multiple pages, same timing, same vibe, I’d be pretty skeptical it’s some random plugin issue.
