Anyone have experience with this? After using cloudflare in my website traffic started to go down. Will my traffic go back after a week or month?

Cloudflare normally helps with speed, it might be a google update issue check if your competitors too are loosing traffic, also I would advise to keep cloud flare for a while, if traffic continues to drop then remove it and test again

it might happen if your site used to get a lot of bot traffic or experience DDOS attacks.

I have experienced organic traffic drop with Cloudflare on my main site. It drops suddenly but takes time to bounce back once CloudFlare is removed. Better to use Cloudflare's paid plan with private SSL.

I just log in in semrush and I saw this. Maybe there a google update going around that affected my traffic?
