Title: Lost all traffic Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Lost all traffic * [Irkitated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irkitated/) * (@irkitated) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-all-traffic/) * Hi, * At the start of the month I moved my entire website [http://www.irkitated.com](http://www.irkitated.com) from blogger to a brand new site in WordPress using the best practice guide on how to do this without losing traffic. This new site features much better SEO( I used a plugin to monitor this) and I have also improved the content substantially. As I made the move I took the opportunity to update a couple of post URLs that were a bit long.I have a 404 page which comes up should anybody go to an old link. * I have submitted new sitemaps to Webmaster and used the Fetch tool to fetch and render the new site but regardless, after the move my stats went like this… Pre move – 500-1000 visitors per day (visitors not pageviews) 1 June – 399 2 June – 281 3 June 48 4 June 16 My site now sits at around 10 visitors per day including a couple of days ago when I only had 2 visits. Considering that I was relying on organic search for a lot of my traffic, including some keywords where I was number 1 ranking, this is a worry. * I have transferred the analytics code over to my new site and have installed the analytics plugin which is working as stats appear in my Dashboard. * I am new to WordPress but by no means new to websites/seo/management as I consult in this field for my day job, but I have a fear that I’ve messed something up somewhere along the line? * I have employed a redirect from my blogger page to the new site. * I have ensured that SEO is good, URLs were transferred so that they are the same as on my old site, Sitemaps are correct, Robots text is correct (I hope), I have a 404 page. * Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this or is it something which will fix itself over time? * Thanks for any help… I’m stumped!

If so, did you mark it as moved? * If you did mark it as moved to the new one, Google will switch all of the URLs to the new one in their index. * Otherwise, it will take Google a while to notice. They will index the new site eventually, but they do have the entire internet to index after all. * Keep at it with the new content, and your audience will build over time, bringing more traffic along with them. * Thread Starter [Irkitated](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irkitated/) * (@irkitated) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-all-traffic/#post-5001660) * Thats the thing… I made sure that the URLs followed the same structure and i tested this when i transferred the site across. * I guess ill just wait and see what happens and hope it figures out what has happened on its own! * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-all-traffic/#post-5001664) * It’ll happen eventually. Google can be a big source of stress if you let it. * “Knowing that Google will get to things in its own time (and there’s nothing you can do about it) is the first path to online peace.” ~ not really a traditional saying 🙂 Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Lost all traffic’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * Last activity: [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-all-traffic/#post-5001664) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
