Website critical issue

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website’s ranking and performance. There are several factors that could contribute to a significant drop in rankings and traffic:

1. Algorithm Updates: Google frequently updates its algorithms, which can impact your website’s visibility. It’s possible that your site was affected by a recent update. You can check for any correlation between your traffic drop and algorithm updates using this guide: Google Algorithm Updates.

2. SEO Plugin Configuration: Ensure that your SEO plugin, like Rank Math, is set up correctly. Incorrect meta tags or settings can negatively affect your rankings. We have a detailed tutorial on how to set up Rank Math properly: How to Setup Rank Math.

3. Indexation Issues: Monitor your site’s indexation status using Google Search Console or the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics. This will help you identify any pages that may not be indexed properly. You can find more information on how to do this here: Index Status in Rank Math.
   

4. Security Issues: If your website has been flagged for security issues, it may be penalized by Google. Check for any security warnings in Google Search Console and resolve them promptly. Here’s an image showing how to check for security issues:
   

5. Content Quality: Ensure that your content is high-quality, relevant, and updated regularly. Low-quality content can lead to a drop in rankings.

If you have checked these factors and still need assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and provide further help.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to assist you in resolving it soon!
