I don't have the right answer. The reason is that I've just started working on my site(s) after a few years of being on "pension". SEO worked well for me and I was getting a stream of passive income without effort. Made me feel powerful and think that I can do it again whenever I want. so I've completely relaxed myself.
It was clear that I was slowly losing positions and revenue, but the money was still decent. I mean whales and all that....so after a few years of this "approach" to business , I've started working again. Unfortunately, somewhere at the same time, HCU started so I am not sure precisely.
Anyway, lack of sales is directly tied to losing rankings on the first page of SERPS for multiple keywords and I think it started maybe 10 days ago for me.
Additional confusion coming from the fact I've technically changed the website in question to meet speed requirements. That part of the job is also great and done by the book.
I would even think that lost positions are because of those changes but after browsing SEO communities and reading about the same problems other people have after HCU, now I am almost 100% sure it's the algo itself, nothing on my end.
