I have a website that was doing quite well, a lot of organic traffic and growing week to week. After the google core update, my traffic dropped 90% literally overnight. If you look at the Google Analytics, it literally all occurred within one hour at 2AM. I initially thought that Google may have flagged my site and removed it from search, simply because the fall was so quick and severe. But there are no manual actions, security issues, or other red flags. Mobile score is still 95%+ and my pagespeed rank is 90-100 across all categories. There are no new backlinks either, good or toxic.
Over the last few days, traffic has slowly trickled back and I'm now down about 80% from my pre-core update numbers, BUT the odd thing is that now ALL of my traffic is only coming to the first page ever posted on my site. No other page, out of the hundreds of pages on my site, are getting any traffic at all, and I literally mean zero. It's all on one page, the very first one. As if that's the only one showing in Google search.
I checked my sitemap, and it's all green, google can read it all. Again, there are no manual actions, notices, errors, or red flags anywhere I can find. It's like my site just got nuked from orbit. Additionally, I made no updates to my site's layout, I didn't make any changes, and the theme, even the colors are the same as before.
Any idea what could have caused this? What should my next steps be?
