Unless you're a big brand like Ikea google won't listen to you, the answers they give in webmasters or on tweeter to the little guys are pathetic and useless. Moreover, they automatically assume that we've done something wrong which is not always the case.I think its useless to complain and fight with it. Google won't do anything unless they fix it silently and by time it will get better ?
I don't know.. LOL
I think the same way. Seems this is a mobile friendly bug. My site was using <picture> tags to load webp images and Googlebot-Mobile couldn't load them.
I've gone and removed all "advanced" speed optimization from my site for now. No minification, inline everything, no webp.. that type of thing. Simple website for Google to render while they work their stuff out.
and how does the new domain and republish everything work so far?I've removed all our mobile-speed up techniques. Removed completly schema-org and every markup. But nothing... sites still decreasing.
We tried techniqually nearly everything since mid december - except a brand new domain and republish everything. I am not sure if we should do it or wait until google will really react on this issue.
Probably, nobody know :/LOL - I dont know when this going to end and back to normal..
we'll see the update from IKEA, probably when they get fixed, all of us too, no ?
This is just ridiculous and pathetic. How can he say its unrelated, when SO MANY PEOPLE have THIS PROBLEM on the SAME DAY?!https://mobile.twitter.com/Julien_Legrand/status/1222430400917778432

Ok, guys, there is no hope that they will tell us what happened. It seems that they have to lie to us and avoid talking about this issue, something big happened there in Google and they will never ever tell about it. The only way is to wait for them to solve it without any information from their side... Or to move on and rebuild our sites on new domains.
