If your website has experienced a significant decrease in hits recently, this could be due to issues stemming from Google. It's important to consider this possibility. Here is Google's explanation: On August 23-24 (Discovery, Exploration), an internal issue resulted in data loss in Search and Discovery performance during this period. Users may see a significant drop in data in performance reports during this period. This does not reflect any decrease in clicks or impressions for your site, only missing data in Search Console.
