Johnny is correct and this most likely has to do with the 404 backlinks and accidental misuse of Google Analytics. I recently did a comprehensive SEO audit for a web3 brand that saw a similar drastic drop in traffic. Here are some other things to keep in mind to rank better on Google. 1. One H1 per page SEO experts agree the best practice is to use one H1 per page. Headers help keep content structured for both Google…

That's the grammar Nazi hat. Pedant hat off.
And no, Godwin's is about comparing something in the topic to Nazis, not self identifying as a "XXX Nazi".

Good comment! I’d add in one more question so we can put the GA tag issue to rest. Does the writer have access to Google Search Central? They rename this product every six minutes. It used to be Google Webmaster Tools and it’s likely called something new now. Are there any manual actions or security alerts in there?? If Google performs a manual action or picks up certain types of security problems, they will tank tra…
No manual actions / security alerts I'm happy to say. Good callout
With your approach I'm sure you'll get back to normal traffic very soon. I think your conclusion is right. It's not one thing that cause the drop but a combination of things. Let's forget one sec about the traffic you had before and focus on the current situation. - Page speed: It's one of the most important ranking factor. You don't have to get 100 score, but passing the core web vitals score and having higher score…
> You don't have to get 100 score, but passing the core web vitals score and having higher score on mobile is recommended Note that they don't have a CWV score yet due to low traffic. But a 39 performance score from the simulated Lighthouse is often more than enough for a passing grade. That is: if a Moto G4 can do OK , your normal users will likely do great. For instance, a site I made[0] has a 22 from Lighthouse, b…

Usually Hacker News strips out "How" (and "Why") at the start of article titles to prevent this. I'm not sure why there are exceptions sometimes.
You can edit it back in after submission.

Which pages or queries in GSC specifically lost traffic? Was there a handful of keywords that drove most of your traffic that you’ve lost? Or is it down across the board for all articles?
I still get traffic, but for things like a webpack define plugin post I wrote in 2017 and for 2 CSharp posts. "eslint for c#" and "build props" All my Azure / TypeScript / React / Bicep traffic dried up. No idea what replaced me.

There's no ads. Over time I've change page URLs, partly as a migration from Blogger to Docusaurus, partly due to just changing page URLs without thinking about it. I've changed image URLs by switching from PNG to WebP and back again. Thanks for the link will check it out.
that was the latin "ad" aka "about" mobile friendly tests fails see https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=SAu... and google can not render the page correctly also test with GSC page inspect -> render page -> see screenshot if this correlates with the software update (and the page URLs) did not change, then this is the strongest contender. check the crawling metrics in GSC google search console js,…
Latin "ad" is more like "to" or "toward", but I've never seen it used to mean "about". FWIW.
You might be aiming for "ab", with which autocorrect will likely refuse to cooperate.
