Reply To: Traffic tanked overnight, anyone else?

From what I’ve seen, yeah, seeing weird swings too. Not a full wipe, but enough to make you stare at GSC like it owes you money. If it’s overnight like that and there’s no manual action, I’d be looking at: – crawl/indexing weirdness first – server response / TTFB / random 5xx stuff – whether the site got hit by some broad algo shuffle – and yeah, sometimes it’s just junk SERP reshuffling for a day or two The parasite pages doing better than your own stuff is the part that always makes me laugh in a miserable way. Google can be so stupid about that. I’ve had weeks where some scraped or thin garbage outranks the actual page and then flips back later, so I wouldn’t assume it’s permanent off one day of pain. If others are seeing it too, that usually points more to update noise than your hosting suddenly deciding to die. Still worth checking logs and a few key URLs manually, because half the time “no issue in Search Console” just means Google hasn’t bothered to tell you yet.
