HELP: I Am Loosing Traffic And Google Ranking After Moving My Website To Https by danwilliams4u(m): 1:33pm On Oct 27, 2018
Good afternoon nairalanders,

Earlier last month I migrated my site from http to https, since then till this moment I am typing this message my traffic, and Google ranking keep on decreasing day by day,

I followed all instructions, as provide by setting up a 301 redirect, fixed mixed content issues,etc before I adding my https property to Google search console.

I also changed my Google analytic property and view to https,

I was hoping that it will pick off but reverse is the case.

Please webmaster I need your help in solving this issue, I will be waiting for your replies, Thanks.

That https is nonsense upon Google assurance that it won't affect traffic ... A site of mine traffic went dead for almost 2 months plus after changing to it.
You might even see ur traffic down by 70%

It will regain back with time give it 2 to 3 months



Don't change back to htpp.... Stick where you are now.
With time it will bounce back



Have in mind:anything that has to do with url change desturt traffic level and Ranking

WordPress, sir.

Lol... Google ehn. See bro, changing anything about ur website affects ur rankings!

And for those telling u ur website will bounce back after some months are partially right...why i said partially is because i have been in ur shoes!! But my site never regained it's rankings!! From number one on first page to 3rd page In just a month... All because I did that https stuff. I kuku stopped renewing the domain!!

U don't change a wining team... If u website is ranking, don't change it...

What am wondering is;

If your site had been initially all the beginning hosted on WordPress, it should have been pre-installed with SSL

I was also fooled by google..that https nonsense warnings..
the moment u changed from http to https its hard to get back even with redirect. google is selfish and only cares about what makes money for them. they will deindex most pages especially when they rollout an update which they do regularly. you now know why europe accuse them of hatred and bias against their competitors yahoo bing and more..they care less about peoples progress

Traffic lost may not be tied to the switch to HTTPS, could be an algo hit coinciding with the switch. Google had been busy with some heavy algo reshuffling this past months, weeks and have been heavy on some sites. So make sure it isn't an algo hit! cool

That means your hosting provide did promo or they included it on the fee.

Domainking or namecheap once said they will soon make all their hosting account comes with htpps that means you must pay an additional fees of 1.99$

Would love to have a friend like you for advice and knowledge. Been blogging on blogger for 3 years, moved to wordpress two months ago and webmasters ran riot on my head... hired 4 and still have a bad site. Hit by that https traffic cut issue too. Changed url structure 3 times to try to improve seo. The number of 404 i get now is shocking.
Won't have made all these mistakes if i had a pal like you... webmasters here are useless once they eat your money. The last one redirected my traffic to his bitcoin site via .htaccess file. Caught him yesterday, guy even commented here.
