Hi,

I've noticed about a 50% traffic drop immediately after moving my server from DO to Vultr on Cloudways. I made sure the robot.txt was updated and loaded. Is there anything else I can do? There's no change in page/link structure.

Interestingly, GSC is saying there is an increase in impressions and CTR, so this doesn't reconcile with what GA is telling me?

TIA

I hope/think something is broken. We are a news blog, not doing anything funky with SEO, just building content. some page raking drops, but others went up, and this happened 3 days ago, so not related to the algo update 1 day ago. :/ users on GA just went vertical down to about 1/3 of previous traffic in 1 week. Yet, when I login to google search console, clicks tripled in the same time, coverage has increased and Core Web Vitals has improved after I added AMP.

I noticed that the GSC had not been able to fetch the robots.txt in a few days - I use Rank Math to create, so I re-created these and added them back in. So it all looks good now, but traffic is still crushed.

I just can't believe my traffic could drop so much, so fast.

Thanks for all your responses
