Couldn't agree more. Our small eCommerce site was effected but the big ones with a lot of keywords have retained their traffic.
I don't know whether it's the crawl rate or the indexing.. But things are very slowly moving.
I usually see many bots and spiders but now they are close to none.
Yup checked our log files. And in it, the thing is quite easily visible.
Google traffic is good for the last couple of days. Specially the International ones.
But I wonder why all of sudden all the new keywords are so slow to get indexed an ranked.
I am experiencing these type of things since the last couple days too.
Many on the other forums are shouting about good traffic. Well good traffic isn't always good if it doesn't convert. In the travel niche everything is super duper good traffic wise. But the traffic is pretty much worthless, why? Because of covid.
Indeed that niche and food, are suffering a lot since last year.
