Hi all,
since upgrading from 3.8 to 4.2 I have lost half of my traffic. The traffic decline began to happen exactly after the upgrade, which was the 1st of March. When I studied my web analytics for the last 12 months, there is some minor fluctuation, but the numbers are consistent. I listed January stats for example as it reflects pre upgrade. Then you can see the most recent month... The one thing I can see is that the traffic I once had from google, I have no more! I have my forum on a dedicated server so speed should be good, yes? We changed the skin but the content is the same. I don't have the first idea why I would loose so much traffic from google. Does anyone have ideas???
