Hello, I have new website (2 months old with 24 posts 1-2 posts per week), and in GSC I see that the "indexed pages" have dropped. Should I worry about this?
I don't have traffic at the moment, no backlinks, nothing.

not being indexed in google is always a concern (if you're not indexed you're not ranking, therefore you'\re not getting traffic / money). So yeah, I think you should try to fix this...

But 24 posts is too little... although, to be honest you should have gotten at least a few test clicks here and there. This looks like your site either is...

- preventing google from indexing / ranking it
- in a tough niche in which you might need lots of content and lots of backlinks to rank
- sandboxed

Show us a graph of your impressions + clicks + CTR + average position, that will paint a better picture...
 
It’s not unusual, especially without traffic or backlinks. Google’s still figuring out where your content fits. But, it might also be worth checking if there are any crawl errors or issues with your sitemap.
 
No need to worry too much. It's normal for new sites to see fluctuations in indexed pages. Keep monitoring it, and things should stabilize as your site grows.
 
2 months is really early. Any way check the problems section. I haven't used webmaster console in a long time, but IIRC there used to be a section where it tells you why pages are not indexed

This is the impression/clicks graphic from GSC. Some clicks started since few days.

nothing to worry about then, keep working on your site as usual and make sure that all content pages that you wish to rank are indexed (usually SEO plugins might noindex pages)....
 
It's common for new websites to have fluctuations in indexed pages, You can focus on building quality backlinks, improving content, and submitting your site for re-indexing,If the issue persists, it might be worth investigating further.
 
I think there was a new google update. I've seen the same thing in many people

It is not uncommon, and especially without traffic or backlinks. Google is still finding out where your content fits. Still, it may be good to check for crawl errors or issues with your sitemap.
 
Try to publish contents and get it indexed. Build backlinks slowly. Make your website trustable in google's eye to rank
