This update just installed and it tanked my site:
What do you mean by “this” update? Did you just auto update WordPress?
If so, try Manually upgrading. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the WordPress (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server (NOTE: do not delete the wp-content directory or your wp-config.php file). Read the Manual Update directions first.
BACKUP: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups! See https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/
Steps to restore your website
Option 1: If you have a hosting backup, restore it from your cPanel or hosting dashboard.
Option 2: If you don’t have a hosting backup, follow these steps to restore your website:
Step 1: Go to your hosting dashboard and back up your database.
Step 2: Open File Manager and delete the independent-analytics folder in wp-content → plugins.
Step 3: Log in to your dashboard and download the previous version of Independent Analytics that you remember was working on your website.
Step 4: Install the previous version.
