Your site no longer shows up on Google, even for its own name. Find the cause fast: noindex, robots.txt, a manual action, a hack, an outage or a canonical pointing elsewhere.
Every “Why pages aren’t indexed” reason in Search Console, in plain words: what it means, whether to worry, and the exact fix for the ones that matter.
Traffic fell after the new site launched. First prove the drop is real, not broken tracking, then find which pages and queries lost out and why.
A single Disallow: / or a forgotten noindex can hide an entire site from Google. Learn how robots.txt is really parsed, how to test it, and how to protect staging properly.
Google is indexing the wrong version of your pages: parameters, staging copies, attachment pages or archives. See which canonical Google chose and steer it back.
Your new site launched but Google shows nothing. Check you are not blocking it, verify Search Console, submit a sitemap, inspect the home page and give Google time.

GA4 suddenly shows zero or far fewer visitors. Check Search Console first to see whether people really stopped coming, then find the missing, duplicated or blocked tag.
Missing, duplicate or cut-off titles and descriptions, no H1 or two of them, and headings that skip levels. What each one does for search engines and screen readers, and how to fix it in Rank Math, Yoast and your page builder.
