I have one website that lost some visitors, any Google algorithm today/yesterday?
Is your site on page #1 or was it?My site is lightning quick and got murdered by the updates. While speed is something I think it's overvalued unless your site is in the bottom quartile performance wise.
Hey be nice, some of us also copy and paste stuff you guys say.![]()
I'm just throwng something into the convo that came across my desk the other day. It seems with this latest Google algo change they have massively factored in the speed that the site loads. I got a few recommendations about server speed, caching, load speeds and the one that really caught my eye was "mobile load speed" and Google is looking at under 1 seconds times as "ACCEPTABLE" so that kind of set me to thinking about how to best optimize large sites for that kind of load speed. I am not gonna lie I AM NOT Even close to being proficient in the optimzation part nor am I an expert on hosting servers etc,. so Google looking at all that would scare me to death if I had a very large site.

For me I think this update has a lot of impact but from my observation I do think it's a lot about users intent.Was first page for hundreds of terms. Lost about 85-90% of our Google traffic. Our website hits everything in their guidelines. Under 2 second load time all pages. Mobile responsive. Not over optimized or keyword stuffed. Content has visible author. Contact and about page easy to see. Privacy and terms easy to see. Cookie opt in. Thorough and accurate content that links to appropriate pubmed studies. 1200+ referring domains. All whitehat links on real websites.
Took 3 years to build. All around one niche. Got demolished. Completely destroyed. Only 18% bounce rate average as well. So the content answers the query...
I'm a bit dumbfounded by the update tbh. I'm really hoping it's a split test by Google. Because I can't imagine how we could go from being the trusted answer for so many terms for so long to being nowhere to be found.
Serprobot.com and proranktracker.com are great. I'm currently using Serprobot since it's cheaper, was using proranktracker before that. You can't go wrong with any of these rank trackers
Some weird keywords are getting ranked rather than the regular ones.
HA HA Here as well. I thought i accidantly left keywords in my ser but there is nothing. Seems google like 3 - 4 words KWds like never before
