Check your web pages - Are they Not SEO-friendly url, Duplicate pages, Irrelevant meta keywords...There are many other factors which may be the causes of traffic fall-down. First of all check your site according to Google guideline.....

my site signal <snip>
httpsyes
contact page yes ,also phone on on top header area
privacy pages yes
Site search we are using Magento so site search is good
brand searchesyes we have signals in google analytics but very minor
Traffic in organic-83% down
social signal these are increasing, not seen any bad signal, traffic is also good
bounce rate 60%

above are site stats "bownbown+" but still i did not found the issues.
keywords signals could not found becusase google most of the keywords not shown, like "not set/not provided"
most of the traffic has gone at not provided area. but how can i find it?

@tihami - don't rely on Google Search Console (webmaster tools) it tells only part of the story and often is incomplete. Learn to use raw server logs to find a broader view of traffic.

thanks keyplyr,
can you guide me which tool is best for server logs,
and which parameter are more important for observation?
I am thinking maybe some
bad links can affect our traffic or may be affected our major keyword section down but currently, I did not find the clue to start the analysis.
is server log gives me detail analysis or hints there?

Any "tool" will limit what information you can get. Just use a text editor and manually drill through the logs.

Use the text editor to do searches for specifics like 403s or 404s. Look up IP addresses at any of the WhoIs services. Develop a list of who is doing what. Keep track of server farms and unwanted User Agents as well as those who you determine to be beneficial.

These forums are a vast information archive for webmasters. Read what others post. Lots to learn.

thank keyplr and bwnbwn +,
one of my friend also help to dig the issue area.
I like to share with all of you guys, it may be help in future.

the process is very easy and direct.
use the Google analytics "organic keyword report"
select the post issue date and compare with past weeks or month or same days
now select the secondary dimensions "Landing Page"
now the report is showing me which keyword has been down with how much percentage. in the specific time.
now I can analyse those URLs and landing pages where issues were shown.
actually, I did not found the keywords which have been affected.
most of the URLs in "Not provided" area, so I could not found the reason why to drop the traffic.
I got the issue in organic search but which area has been affected I was not found but using this report I got it.
thanks for your support guys.
