Search traffic major decline in news site, need help I have a Wordpress news website built using GeneratePress: [login to view URL] We are a news and features content site, publishing about 15-20 posts per day In the past few months we’ve had a major falloff in users/traffic, particularly search traffic. Google Analytics Monthly Total Users: Month / Direct Users / organic - direct split June 2025: 7,000: organic search - 2,300 (34%), direct - 18,00 July 2025: 18,000: organic search - 10,000 (51%), direct - 5,349 August 2025: 29,000: Organic Search – 20,600 (72%), direct - 4502 September 2025: 37,000: organic search – 29,000 (78%), direct - 4,900 October 2025: 198,000: organic search - 170,000 (86%), direct - 24,000 November 2025: 84,000: organic search - 59,000 (70% ), direct - 21,000 December 2025: 65,000: organic search – 32,000 (49%), direct - 29,000 January 2026: 42,000: organic search – 10,000 (67%), direct - 29,000 Context is we switched to Generate Press in mid July after a long time on a really slow theme (“Newspaper”) We had a steady increase in traffic as you can see. However starting In November/December we had a big decline in search traffic. I know Google released an update in December. Some additional context: We are a US-based site, but because we focus on cricket a lot of traffic comes from India. I understand that sites like this may have gotten impacted by the December update. That said, even our India traffic seems to have fallen off. I think in the December update, Google raised the standards for passing core web vitals. I think we were passing before on desktop, failing on mobile, and after the update we started failing both. We’ve made some optimizations and now have passing scores for both but it hasn’t been 30 days so I don’t think we’re passing yet. We have some strange indexing situation/issues. We have 20,000 posts on our site, but still only 10,000 seem to be indexed In google analytics page report there is a lot more traffic to “page not found” than before – may or may not be a concern I need an expert in both SEO, technical SEO, sitespeed, etc. to look at our situation, make some recommendations. We have an in-house developer who is not an SEO expert but will collaborate and be able to make implementations. Scope of work - Assess whether core web vitals scores are good enough - Investigate and resolve Google indexing issues - Investigate and come up with explanations for major search traffic falloff and how to improve – whether technical, content, SEO, etc. - Make any other recommendations and jointly implement to improve search traffic Company info - Company name: [login to view URL] - Company website: [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] is a news website with over 20,000 live posts, built using Wordpress and GeneratePress.

Hello, From your project description, I understand your WordPress news site experienced a major decline in organic traffic after switching themes and following Google’s December update. The main challenge is identifying the root causes—technical issues, indexing anomalies, Core Web Vitals, or content/SEO gaps and implementing fixes that restore search visibility.

Hello, I’ve worked with high-volume news publishers who experienced sharp traffic swings after core updates, theme migrations, and indexing shifts so the pattern you’re describing is familiar. Based on your timeline (GeneratePress migration in July, surge through October, sharp drop post-December update), this likely involves a mix of algorithm impact, Core Web Vitals reassessment, and technical indexing inefficiencies. I would begin with a full diagnostic across Search Console, crawl data, CWV (mobile + desktop), log behavior, and index coverage to isolate whether the drop is quality-based, technical, or a combination of both. With 20,000 posts and only ~10,000 indexed, there are strong signals of crawl budget waste, duplication, soft 404s, or structural issues. The spike in “page not found” traffic also needs immediate investigation whether from broken internal links, legacy theme URLs, parameter issues, or sitemap inconsistencies. From there, I’ll provide a clear recovery roadmap: technical fixes (indexation, CWV validation, crawl efficiency), content recalibration (topical authority, news freshness signals, geographic targeting for India vs US), and structural SEO improvements tailored to a cricket-focused news publisher. Your in-house developer will have precise implementation guidance, and we’ll validate progress through measurable indexing and ranking improvements not assumptions. Regards, Aqsa.
