I have a Huge Drop of traffic

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to Rank Math and sorry to hear about your traffic loss. We know how frustrating it can be to see your rankings drop suddenly. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

First of all, we want to assure you that Rank Math or any other SEO plugin cannot cause a traffic or ranking drop by itself. Rank Math only helps you optimize your site for search engines and social media, but it does not control how Google or other search engines rank your site.

There are several possible reasons why your traffic or ranking might have dropped:

• You might have made some changes to your site’s settings or content that affected your SEO. For example, you might have accidentally set some pages to noindex or blocked some pages from your sitemap. To check this, please make sure you have configured Rank Math correctly and that your pages are set to index, and that your sitemap is accessible to search engines. You can find more information on how how to set up Rank Math properly here: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-setup/
• You might have encountered some errors or issues on your site that prevented Google or other search engines from crawling or indexing your site properly. For example, you might have broken links, duplicate content, or security issues. To check this, please log in to your Google Search Console and look for any errors or warnings that might be affecting your site. If you find any, please share them with us via the sensitive data section below, so we can help with them.
• You might have been affected by a Google algorithm update that changed the ranking factors or preferences for your niche or industry. Google updates its algorithm frequently and sometimes a site can lose its rankings due to factors beyond its control. We monitor the confirmed and unconfirmed Google updates on our blog: https://rankmath.com/google-updates/ and if you think you have been hit by an update, you can learn how to recover from it from this guide: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/

In any case, without knowing your website URL, it’s hard for us to understand the exact cause of your traffic or ranking drop and provide you with specific solutions. Please share your website URL with us via the sensitive data section below, so we can take a closer look at your site and give you more personalized advice.

We hope this helps and thank you for choosing Rank Math!

Hello,

We can see that all Meta tags are properly added on your site, robots are not being blocked, and sitemaps are loading as intended.

We went ahead and tested the site using rich result, and it seems that your website has been crawled successfully on Jun 26, 2023, and schema is properly setup.

Also tested the website performance using GTMetrix and here’s the result:

As you can see the site got a Grade D due to page speed and other factors. Please refer to the full report here: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/entrepreneurrebelle.fr/7i6yabRN/

Now, please compare the data between New Users and Returning Users on your end. If the number of returning users has decreased, this could indicate a problem with the structure of your site or the ease of use for your users. Perhaps the site is reporting multiple 404 Not Found errors, or perhaps the loading speed of your site is too slow, causing users to abandon the site due to a bad experience.
