How I ruined my SEO
With your approach I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;ll get back to normal traffic very soon.<p>I think your conclusion is right. It&#x27;s not one thing that cause the drop but a combination of things.<p>Let&#x27;s forget one sec about the traffic you had before and focus on the current situation.<p>- Page speed: It&#x27;s one of the most important ranking factor. You don&#x27;t have to get 100 score, but passing the core web vitals score and having higher score on mobile is recommended.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pagespeed.web.dev&#x2F;report?url=https://johnnyreilly.com/&amp;form_factor=mobile" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pagespeed.web.dev&#x2F;report?url=https://johnnyrei...</a><p>A cool trick to improve the result fast is by removing the lazy load effect from the LCP:

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;ONSiQjQ.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;ONSiQjQ.png</a><p>- Add bio (one liner) here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;SXbWVwU.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;SXbWVwU.jpg</a>
Great smile. The bio should show your readers your expertise in the topic. If you want to take it to the next level, Quora is a great inspiration. In every Quora answer you can write a different On-liner&#x2F;byline.<p>- Internal linking: I love your blog archive. It&#x27;s a great idea. Try to make more strategic articles stronger. More internal links to the article will signal search engines this page is indeed important.<p>- Add Privacy policy &amp; Terms of use pages<p>I can help you with analyzing the traffic drop if I&#x27;ll understand which pages were your largest traffic generators. 
Let&#x27;s try to understand what happened to those pages, and how it&#x27;s possible to make them stronger.<p>I worked with several large companies who had traffic drop after migration. Sometimes companies spend so much time and effort looking for the reason for the drop instead of just focus on recovering.<p>I&#x27;m up for analyzing the drop but if the reason is not obvious (Google Penalty for example), I recommend to focus on the future rather than the past.<p>I would love to help you (As a case study) with analyzing what caused the issue, and to give tips on how to move forward and get more traffic.<p>Edit:
