Hello All,
After July 26th, my website's traffic went down by 60%, and I have been publishing one article daily on the site. No articles have been indexed since July 26th. Please let me know how I can solve this issue.

If you find out the answer to this let us all know, G is in a horrible, non-updating mess for many of us at the moment. Favoured news websites seem to be ok however the rest of us are seemingly being left to flounder.

Hopefully time or a re-set will sort this out but that is a hope, not a guarantee of any improvement.

I published a new site a month ago and 100% of the pages are indexed. New pages are indexed within a week.

Yep, I'm not having a problem with indexing however getting traction and decent rankings is something else with G. A new site I uploaded 5th June 2023 is now starting to rank in Bing / DDG yet nowhere in G.

Raowl's date is specific at 3 weeks ago today and "sounds" more like a site technical issue when nothing has been updated by G.

I've noticed a lot of people talking about this recently. I believe it's due to new algorithmic changes that are happening quite frequently. It would be a technical issue if it were pointed out by a few people.

Yep, something is happening for me too. Couldn’t find any information about updates so my guess is it’s related to new things that came out recently.

Yes, suddenly 90% of my new product pages are not indexed either, but a month ago almost 90% were indexed

I'm having a similar issue (not quite such a dramatic drop, but enough to frustrate me!). I've also put it down to recent changes, but I'm having so much trouble getting traffic back on track. I'm currently looking into all possible issues (speed, UX, backlinks), and all looks good! Hopefully it's just a game of patience.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld GordonHSEO

Hopefully it's just a game of patience.

So, we've had a core update announcement at the end of a holiday season for many. At such times my course of action is to do nothing until we can see where the dust settles and examine if there are any discernible effects. Yep, it's frustrating but hopefully we should "know" something by the middle of next week.

FWIW my traffic graph looks like a massive sawtooth, roller coasters have nothing in comparison.

I seem to have found the answer to this problem, but I'm not sure if it's correct.

Because my website has too many pages, Google cannot crawl them all, or the content is not attractive enough to the crawlers, or there are multiple pages with similar content.
