My site got hit by an update. I panicked. Then I fixed technical issues and wrote new posts for user intent. Slowly, the traffic came back.

Tip: Don’t quit after an update. Learn and adapt.

Did you ever recover from a traffic drop?
 
Been there every update feels brutal, but it’s Google’s way of forcing evolution. Clean up tech issues, match real intent, and rebuild smarter, recovery isn’t luck, it’s adaptation in motion.

Consistency is king! I'm glad you managed to get out of that shit storm.

Sometimes quitting at correct time is the actual solution. Blogging is no more that reliable method to make money online now.

an 80% loss would scare anyone .the most terrible mistake made here,imo is that everything is being changed at the same time. it would be wiser to figure out what specifically became less visible, fix the things that are vissible and then let google re evaluate the website.

eighty percent might be an approximation, but I don’t think that I would recommend performing this for all of your web page I would first examine the patterns on your pages that are declining as well as those that have stabilized.

always work on content keyword with plagiarism fix and copyscape pass after update to secure web content in getting index with the recent update,non rank keywords may get rank after the update done which may improve some webpage traffics.
 
What kind of technical issues did you fix? I believe be exact would have help more. Anyway, it's common for traffic and performance to tank during update like the famous Google's August Update. Instead of overhauling your entire setup, you could analyze page by page and fix those not performing.
