Hi, Over the past two months my Wordpress stats show a huge reduction in page views coming from "wordpress android app" which was mainly "com.google.android.googlequicksearch".

It's reduced from around 100k a month last year to 18k in January and now 1k this month.

What is it exactly and why the big fall? "Search Engines" is listed on stats separately and has held the same throughout.

Thanks

It's Discover traffic. You should also see a drop from "/chrome-content-suggestions"

[developers.google.com...]

they're all either "Direct" or shown as from "google.com" now.

Thanks yes I have. No idea why it's fallen so much. I've changed nothing. No increase in other areas to compensate.

The drop you see is because
they're all either "Direct" or shown as from "google.com" now.
if you go and read at the link provided you will see you are not losing traffic, it is that the attribution has changed. It used to be reported differently.
