My website on page 1 of the highly competitive difficult keyword was located. But suddenly, the ranking dropped significantly. Our website is about 3 months old. I don't know why, but why?

Your site is still pretty new. So, wait some more time and build quality content. You can also cross-check rankings with other browsers.

Either algorithm updates, technical issues, quality of your content got poor or your competition stepped up..

- Algorithm changes: Search engine algorithms are constantly evolving, and updates can have a significant impact on your website's ranking. Google, for instance, makes hundreds of algorithm updates every year, and some of these updates may negatively affect your site's ranking.
- Technical issues: Technical issues such as broken links, slow page loading speed, duplicate content, or incorrect indexing can also hurt your website's ranking.
- Poor quality content: If your website has low-quality content, it may not be deemed as relevant or useful to users, which can lead to a drop in ranking.
- Over-optimization: Over-optimizing your website for a particular keyword or phrase can also result in a penalty from search engines, causing your ranking to drop.
- Backlink issues: If your website has low-quality or spammy backlinks, it can negatively affect your ranking.

One thing I've noticed in the last year (or couple of years), that website ranking takes time to settle to a final position(s),
This could be that Google takes the websites through several different kind of algo checks progressively to cut the load on their servers,
I can see that specifically with testing spammy websites (copied, paas, ...),
So they do rank and even get a decent amount of traffic for a while (couple of months at most), then get totally vanished from the serps with the known penaltiees of totally vanishing from the serps (not even in top 100), indexing problems (4-8 indexed pages) and no more crawling,
So the thing is that the website could've passed one of the initial algo checks and failed at the next one, ending up as detected as a spamming/low quality website for whatever reason

When did this happen exactly? You can take a look at the latest Google algorithm updates here: https://www.seroundtable.com/category/google-updates
You can check that list & see if maybe your site was affected by an update.

If you were on page one on a highly difficult keyword and your page is only 3 months old this is normal. You may or may not return to that spot, you likely have to work alot harder ot get it back though. Google is weird when you first get a page indexed.
