Reply To: Traffic tanked again for no reason

From my experience, yeah, I’d still check the boring crap first before going full “Google nuked me.” I’ve seen the exact same thing and it was some stupid plugin conflict / cache nonsense, while Search Console sat there looking smug and useless. If you’ve been pushing AI pages lately then sure, keep that in mind, but one day of dead traffic isn’t enough for me to start screaming penalty. Pike’s probably gonna jump in with the usual “Google’s twitchy” thing, but half the time it’s site-side junk. That’s how I look at it.
