you gave us nothing important, I don't think anyone can help...
If your blog is new (less than 1 month old) it's possible that google ended its testing period (most fresh sites get a few weeks worth of traffic to give google initial feedback), after which the blog disappears from google (just like yours did) until you SEO the crap out of it and / or until the blog gets out of the potential sandbox (which can last 3-24 months, depending on niche and site strength, authority, trust, etc...)
Anyway, that's one possible reason for which your site disappeared, until you give us more info (niche, site age, SEO done to it, etc) we can't know for sure why it disappeared...

check gsc for manual actions first, then look at what changed before the drop hit

My first step would be to see if the drop correlates with a recent Google update. Also review your pages for thin, outdated, or overlapping content and ensure everything is still providing value to users. Don't panic and make too many changes at once track what's losing rankings first, then fix issues methodically.

check which pages are affected.
If they are in wordpress, try to change the page structure through elementor. take help of claude or chatgpt to improve ui and content.

But not forget the core issues wp has; is built on old tech stack, deep internal links (with plugins...) the google bot not crawls, an old php tech DB, dynamic content which will mess up google bot crawling, plugins each you install will mess up the core code and the list goes on. Do you think good seo is possible with that messed up tech stack?
Happy Weekend !

you have to change domain, because it google has caught your domain, you must have done accessive backlinks, or any spamming method seo.

Why not? I have five personal websites: two in the adult niche (WordPress), one blogging site (WordPress), one gaming site (pure HTML/CSS), and one on Wix (probably the worst of the lot). I've been running them for 2+ years, with the oldest being around 6 years old. All of them have ranked with patience and good content.
On both of my adult sites, I use 10+ plugins to save my headache in updating them. The plugins never stopped me from ranking. In fact, one of those sites got deranked a year ago and I recovered it simply by redesigning and improving the site with the help of those plugins.
Let's not blame the tech stack here. A messy setup can create problems, but I've seen plenty of WordPress sites with lots of plugins outrank technically cleaner websites. Content quality, user experience, and consistency still matter more in most cases.
Ironically, the worst performer out of all my sites is the Wix one.

I just restored the ranking of one of my 'idle news sites' which automatically loads new articles daily by buying some targeted SEO traffic and pointing it to the keywords I wanted to rank for. Bear in mind, I do have my site optimized for ranking and the SEO is Google friendly.

i would first check for any recent google updates and review the website through googlesearch console I’d look for possible indexing content or technical issues that could be affecting rankings updating older articles and improving content quality has helped some of my pages regain visibility over time

First thing I'd check is whether the drop affects all pages or just specific keywords. Look for recent content changes, indexing issues, lost backlinks, or a manual action message.
If nothing obvious changed on your side, compare the dates of the ranking drop with recent search algorithm updates. That can help narrow down whether it's a site issue or a broader ranking shift.

First off, check the пад, sorry drop, is it happening because of a Google algorithm update or maybe there is a technical problem underneath. Then take a close look at your site for thin pages or content that is outdated. Fix anything related to indexing , crawl issues too, and if something looks wrong in search, clean it up. Next, improve the overall content quality, make the pages more helpful and updated, remove spammy backlinks if needed or disavow them. Recovery usually takes time, so do not chase quick wins, focus on steady enhancements instead.

Have you checked whether the drop started after a specific Google update? Comparing affected pages in search Console can sometimes reveal if it's content indexing or relevance issue.

use cloude and analyze entire site with SEO errors, and find which posts are flagged , using AI you can get better investigation of the site and fix

First , try to find the cause using Google Search Console and analytics , because that’s where things like manual actions and indexing problems usually show up. Also look for any recent Google updates , and scan for technical errors , like crawl troubles or broken pages that behave weirdly. After that, work on content quality , remove or refresh thin or duplicate pages, fix technical SEO problems , and make internal linking more deliberate. Finally, earn high quality backlinks from relevant sites. Recovery can take time too, especially after Google re evaluates your website, and it rechecks everything again.
