Hello guys, I've been losing organic traffic since last month: https://prnt.sc/3XIMoKQwhG0P Today when I entered the Google Search Console I noticed this: https://prnt.sc/dWYG2K6f7oTP Any idea where I should look? https://prnt.sc/LrVUS7ZnunaU I don't have any idea what happened, I didn't change the site code. If you need any more information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
Do a (site:yourdomain.com) search in google to see if the entire site has been deindexed, remove the ().
Thank you for your response. I already did, I have many pages indexed, but some other pages are not. And my SERPS are dropping as well.
Well you do have almost 5000 pages blocked by No Index tags. Plus server errors. And why so many 404s?
Oso Optimized, I also don't understand why I have so many non-existent URLs. For example, excluded by noindex tags I have many: domain.com/?s=<chinese characters> ie: 天津武清区高端外围上门(微信191988640电v同步135-0740-7163真实上门天津武清区高端外围上门(微信191988640电v同步135-0740-7163真实上门.A I never had Chinese texts on my site, so I don't where is google found these URLs. It seems that are coming from my site search /?s= How can I prevent this from happening? Google report: https://prnt.sc/m6cH5XodhFgP The same for the No Found (404) pages. I have thousands of URLs like this: domain.com/b<randomnumeric> ie: domain.com/b3099922, domain.com/b3834370, ... I also don't know where is google found these URLs.

Has your site been hacked? This would explain many things. You could ask your host for help on this, tell them you may have been hacked. And get any new pages from the hacker removed.
Site site wasn't hacked. But I noticed that I had these two lines in the WordPress search results: <meta name='robots' content='index, follow, max-image-preview:large, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1' /> <meta name='robots' content='noindex, follow' /> Code (markup): I already removed the first one because it should be noindex. Anyway, I don't believe was this causing the problem... Is it a good idea to 301 redirect all the 404 errors to the main page? Thanks!
I would want to know why you suddenly have hundreds of thousands of 404s. Has part of your site been deleted? Look, you even posted your message yesterday at 4:04 pm, haha.
Hahah, 4:04 pm, that was a funny coincidence. Like I said above, I have thousands of URLs like this: domain.com/b<randomnumeric> ie: domain.com/b3099922, domain.com/b3834370, ... I never had these URLs on my site, could this be related to the duplicated meta robots tag that I posted in my previous message?
I have immunify360 installed on the server and didn't detect anything. I also use Wordfence to monitor file changes. Why do you think I've been hacked? I never had weird pages on my site, I work in this site every day.
Because you have weird pages on your site that you didn't create. I've never had pages / urls just appear without a hacking. And you have 5,000,000 pages that have been crawled, but not indexed. I can't do much else without being able to see some of these URLs. Can find these links to these non-existent pages placed somewhere on your site?
You can also search the web for these URLs, to see if there is a site somewhere pointing toward these fake pages. It is just suspicious you have over 5M pages that have been crawled, but not indexed.
I did a search for some URLs and google didn't find anything. Also, this is the Google report: https://prnt.sc/TBxf_Nkv0EbL Referring page: None detected
I would download Xenu Link checker. It can't look through 5M pages, but it might be able to give you some insight.
