Hi all forum members. First of all I d like to thank everyone who will waste his time & maybe try to help me.
So the story started like end of January/ beginning of February. My website hosted on <snip hosting company> was experiencing like 40-50 downtimes of 5 mins to 10 mins a day for a 3-4 consecutive days.
I was crazy, that <hosting company> support didnt want to help me and keeps claiming the problem is not on their side.
So during that 3-4 days I was installing fresh copies of wordpress, upgrading, downgrading the versions of Wordpress, switching off all plugins and so on. There was even a problem with auto-update of wordpress or intallation of a new theme (I had to do all manually during that 3-4 days.) So I was still asking <hosting company> whats going on for that 3-4 days and finally in a 5th day they told me they've installed fresh copy of a wordpress from their side and everything works.
Few days later I noticed that someone from the support have deleted sitemap from server during that installation and meesed up categories & tags (when I was clicking on tag or categories there was 404 error.)
So I fixed that tags & categories error few days later and I created & submitted the new sitemap for google webmasters tools. Also on GWT I had many reports of:
- google cannot access your site
- 1000s of not found URLS
- broken and weird links
All that was after that 3-4 days of server downtime.
Then in middle of February my traffic went horribly down to the 10! page views a day, while previously it was between 300 and 500 PV daily (now its between 40 and 60 but still from GOOGLE traffic is very little, while previosuly it was 80-90% of all traffic). Im not sure what to do now, what to check even, so maybe some of you got any ideas & time to let me know where to look at least.
Thanks in advance.
