I have lost like 99% of my google traffic yesterday, it was so random and it has happened to two of my websites in the same time, the traffic went down the 18th of this month, here is the drop

the website is working fine, there was no google update the 18th, I didn't change anything in the website, so am totally in dark and lost all my income from those sites, does anyone has any idea about it ?

this is the coverage/impressions graph

GSC coverage is not trustable.
Always check with site:domain.com

yep, I have checked with site:domain.com and everything looks fine , it's getting even weirder
 
Woow, sorry dude, that's terrible but I remember someone was talking about an imminent G update last Friday, might be real considering what you experienced.

Also check if some of your site's URLs was getting biggest part of traffic - are they indexed with site:URL
 
ill give it a couple of days and see what happens
 
You are the only one who can check things. You know your biggest visitor earning keywords. Check them one by one. See if they are where they should be. Check your server's uptime and check whether the traffic drop is in bulk on on just some specific hours. Try to find out what went wrong because we don't have access to your website's stats, although I`d love to, to be honest:)
 
Apparently your website is a spaming machine, I maybe wrong, so maybe a hit, or technical issue like hack.
 
Probably an algorithmic penalty, the spam update on November finally caught up with you..I run site with similar indexed pages as you and got hit pretty bad...
 
Lost 90% here as well, it started 1-2 days ago, and I have no clue as what it caused, there wasn't any spam on my website, so I don't think it is related to Spam but something else probably, I'll give it 1 week though.
 
It's really terrible to lose that amount of traffic overnight, but did you check the Search Console, have you maybe got some message there that could point out some problems? If not, then I guess you'll need to wait a bit to see if things will sort out eventually, I am not sure about any updates recently, unless they had something but didn't notify any of us.

Thats the only thing I can do right now, I have no messages in Search console.
Also,I have never made a backlink for the website, and its not new , I had it for a long time, I only reached this point with extreme hard work, losing it overnight really broke me hard , I hope it will bounce back
 
Looks like a penalty, the site might bounce back but who knows when. I had big sites bounce back in a matter of months but I have ones that didnt even after 3 years.
work on other sites untill it recovers
