The August 2023 Google core update is expected to minorly affect website rankings across the board but may heavily impact some more than others.

So, that date came and went. I feel like there's something else on the way. But who knows, Google did say that they could run specific portions of a core update instead of firing all their guns at once.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld thekoko!

Update has just been completed.

My first few days were very chaotic with PVs all over the place however the first week of September seems to have settled down at a steady 116%.

Thanks for the warm welcome RedBar! I do agree it is gonna be chaotic within the first few days after an update, so I think I could use this time to take care of my other websites. Cheers
