Yes I can see that the drop started around the 15th of August. But wha tis weird is that most of my pages are still ranking high with Google. I cannot see major drop in position with Google Search, but what I can see is that the volume of search for all my pages has been reduced drastically since the 15th of August. I have published new posts and I can see that some are ranking high already but still not a great recovery in audience. Average 30-35% less still. Hopefully with new posts it should improve. It is annoying because I publish honest reviews of product that I like and know. I am affiliate with Amazon so maybe this is the issue as I need to put disclaimers.

Please note that with the new Gemini AI search powered, A lot of sites are loosing readers. I have lost around 40% of visitors in the last two weeks. And it is becoming very difficult because Gemini AI is more and more present on Google.

I am aware that Google is changing their search engine with Gemini and more AI and this will obviously damage the number of visitors. I know they started, then they stopped. My site used to have around 1000-1200 daily page views with 50% from the US. This week according the Squarespace Analytics the site has lost around 50% of readers (still 50% from US). I am on holiday so I cannot upload any new posts to be honest, but I am wondering if this is happening to others? That's a lot to be honest! Google Analytics is showing similar numbers (not a fan of Google Analytics). Jerome
