      Definitely not. Getting somewhere near half what I was getting.

      Traffic/revenue a little bit higher on this account, but like someone else said on another thread, I'm actually making a little more than I was same time last year. So, traffic and money not as good as it was a little while back, but better than last year. As someone else said, maybe it's seasonal.

         Same story here, mate. It's disheartening to say the least.

            About half for me as well. And I was at my highest ever, so it's really disheartening (good word)!

               My traffic is about 60% of what it normally should be. It’s disgusting.

   Visits off around 5% ... within normal daily range.  September ad revenue off 20% from peek in August but I'm not complaining.

   Mine isn't back to what it was (still 25% down) but some of that might be seasonal. I'm not complaining though as my traffic is still very good.

   Still 25% to 30% down on last week. Some articles have returned to normal and one has more daily traffic than before.

    Anybody has any clue why this is happening? Lots of noise online but no clear indication why so many sites got hammered.

       Load time, text-html ratio of indexed pages (something like the panda update).
       
       I took a new client who was hit by this update and lost 50% of his traffic (one of the top German recipe sites) and now traffic and rankings are up even better than before the update. All I did was deindex his category pages, tags and created AMP pages and boosted desktop load time as well.
       
       This website is not like the HP niche sites, no automated tag pages, and stuff. But HP has some of these elements that can potentially be fixed too.

          So, you're suggesting that the traffic drop has some sort of connection with the recent Google update?

             Haha. Not suggesting, stating. Most people on this thread and the other one that discusses the traffic drop also see the correlation. Correlation doesn't mean causation, but when your traffic from google drops and you lose rankings after an update, that's cause.

                Thank you for clarifying it for me. How long does it usually take for things to be back on track when something like this happens?

                   As long as the issues Google is trying to concern is fixed or until the next algorithmic update that doesn't penalize the wrong websites.

    Hmm, nothing much we could do if it's a pagespeed thing. Guess we have to have faith in the HP team to address this.

    I have 10 HP profiles, but it's difficult to find a definitive pattern. I am down 15 - 25%, I would guess, but it's uneven. I'm hoping HP can give their opinion, as they have a much wider overview, as well as the technical expertise.

    I'm not even going to check the traffic from now on until I get some positive news from the Forums. It's out of our hand anyways.
