If your website has experienced a significant drop in hits recently, it could be due to Google algorithms. It's important to be aware of this possibility. According to Google's Statement: On August 23-24 (Discover, Search) there was an internal issue that resulted in data loss in Search and Discover performance. Users may see a significant drop in data in their performance reports during this period. This does not reflect any decrease in clicks or impressions for your website, but rather missing data in Search Console.
