My website has experimented a drop followed by a stabilization in traffic, which is normal:

BUUUT... some posts (some of them very importants) have dropped to ZERO and not recovered:

Why, Google??

What should I do??

Is there someone fighting with the same problem?
 
Google dropped your pages thinking that they weren't relevant to the queries even though in reality they might be relevant.
 
Are they still indexed in Google? Update them with new content, change some of the old content to make it more up to date and then manually request a new crawl in GSC. Google never keeps 100% of your site in their records, some pages fall off or just get hidden. Do a search in incognito mode, scroll down and click to include omitted pages and see if your article shows up anywhere on page 1.

Good luck

Yes, they are still indexed.

But searching for them on Google, they just don't appear. Even if I search for the exact title + site URL. o_O
 
This is the situation when Google recently updated its Useful Content algorithm and there are no instructions or ways to solve the problem.

Some idiots are about to comment again: write quality content and quality backlinks. I'm sick of hearing these sayings :D
 
Search with site:url and inurl:url for index. GSC is a big liar and always shows deindexed pages as indexed.
Searching for the term + site:url the article is visible. Unfortunately, nobody does that.

A couple of users reported solving the problem by removing the videos causing the problem,
It seems like some kind of a new bug,

Test it out with some page(s),
Remove the video, request indexing again so it would be recrawled and check if that specific page(s) rank again

Seriously? Wow 'o'

I'm gonna try that.

If it works, I will be very very grateful to you. xD
 
Frankly, I had the same problems, I have a lot of pages that did not rise again after core updates. After reviewing a topic recently, I decided to try it. One of my most important pages was saved in this way. I recommend you to take a look at it. Even if you don't have the error mentioned there, try your luck, it worked for me. Everybody has given their pieces of advice over there.
