    • Hello @Darko !

      Thank you, the graphic looks very interesting. Could you please provide us with more details about graphic legenda? BTW - did you use UNA without any upgrades after installation? As I may see, your profile has been registered 24.01.24 but UNA was using since July of 2023. Wating for the whole info from you!

      • Version: 14.0.0-A3

        Installed: 05 August 2023

        Updated: 16 March 2024

        I was a member of Una.io and I have been using Dolphin since 2007. I couldn't log in to my old profile, so I created a new one. Graphic is google analytics and search console, sitemap was sent to search console after switching to UNA

        • In fact, it is difficult to understand what exactly influenced traffic from Google. Here are the statistics from the old site:

          image_transcoder.php?o=sys_images_editor&h=1876&dpx=1&t=1711476753

          And these are statistics for a relatively new site in a very competitive topic:

          image_transcoder.php?o=sys_images_editor&h=1877&dpx=1&t=1711476829

          If you compare your graphs and my first one, they are similar. But there is a possibility that the problem lies in the emergence of a gigantic number of sites on various topics that are generated by neural networks. Because of this, competition may have increased. I am observing several sites that are filled with neural networks; in just 6 months their traffic has grown to 10-15 million per month. They publish from 100 to 1000 new articles every day, and it is still very difficult to compete with them. We hope that Google will begin to identify them.

          • The only thing I can notice is that pages on Dolphin work and load faster.

            • So I'm not the only one who noticed a drastic drop in traffic from google?

              • Now many people have lost traffic from Google, regardless of the CMS. Especially starting from March 2024.

                • UNA is better than Dolphin in evert SEO-related aspect. However, UNA is not Dolphin and is not a direct replacement.

                  • If you switch to a new platform and want to preserve your search engine traffic you need to preserve content and URL structure, or at least preserve content and setup redirects for your old content to the new content. Eventually Google would remap it.
                  • If you look at your Analytics, check which URLs were the most popular and if you even have the same content still present on the new site. UNA has a different link structure and I'm not sure how much you've actually transferred from the old site - profiles, posts, comments, images - all that content typically attracts the long-tail organic searches in a community. If it wasn't transferred, naturally, you won't have that traffic.
                  • If you have't already, open your Google Search console and check if Google reports any indexing issues or manual penalties. In some cases there are issues that are easy to resolve once you know what it is.

                  • Thanks @Andrey Yasko for the reply, I transferred all the content to UNA and also added a lot of new content made by members and me, I redirected the most popular backlinks to a new URL, made a new sitemap in the paid sofware, it just doesn't help! Still 20K pages not indexed, and only 5K are indexed. I regularly check the search console and fix it. I've been fighting this for eight months and I'm slowly losing my will.
