Reply To: Traffic dropped hard after last update

Yeah, that split behavior is the part that bugs me too. If it was a clean technical issue, you’d usually see a lot more consistency across the whole cluster. I’ve had pages do that same nonsense where one URL survives and the near-identical one gets shoved aside like it never existed. Usually it’s not hosting, not plugins, not some dramatic “site is broken” thing — it’s more like Google decided one page is the one it feels like showing this week. I’d still watch the dropped pages vs the ones holding on, because there’s usually some dumb little difference buried in there. But yeah, I wouldn’t waste too much energy assuming it’s all on your end. Google’s been pretty sloppy with this stuff lately.
