Dammit. Mine's down, too.
Do these updates stall the system somehow? Do actual traffic stats during the updates pick back up once the stall/downtime is restored?
Also, I write about supplements and health, and noticed the usual sites are not ranking above five.
Normally, my traffic peaks in May and then gently tapers off throughout the summer and fall. Thanks to Google's changes, my traffic fell off a cliff in June. I'm looking at numbers that I don't normally see until the fall.
I opined every writer will be affect. None is excempt. My traffic is likewise low.
Oh boy, here we go again! This rollercoaster is going to continue into August, according to SERoundtable!
Google Page Experience Update Rolling Out Between June 15 & End Of August
It seems that all the updates since the late May one have been generally detrimental to the site. The core one was maybe the worst. Looking at the traffic on SEMRush, pretty much all the niches have seen a decline. It's early days though, plenty of time for recovery.

My traffic is up a little over 2% from where it was yesterday, but still a big drop.

I an not sure whether the current Google's update, Broad Core Algorithm update, referred to as May 2022 update, that was rolled out yesterday, May 25, and which will run for 2 weeks, is the cause of people outside of U.S. not seeing ads on their hubs, and the others hubs on Hubpages and its...

Difficult to believe, I know, after all the shenanigans we've experienced for the past three months with traffic rising or falling 10 or 20% every other day.

After the longest stretch in memory without an update to the site (nearly 3 weeks), we've just deployed a new release. The biggest change is the addition of a map capsule, which as the name would suggest allows you to include Google Maps in your hubs, for instance see Livelonger's hub on the...
