Why did my WordPress traffic drop? A free plugin that explains it in plain words

Disclosure: I work at Stinoment, the company that built this plugin. It is free and open to everyone on WordPress.org.

Stinoment Growth Assistant is a free WordPress plugin that reads your Google Search Console data, explains it in plain language, runs 50+ daily site checks, and fixes many common SEO problems with one click. Every change it makes is saved in a history, so you can undo it.

Why does WordPress traffic drop without warning?

At Stinoment, an international software and SEO company based in Yerevan, Armenia, we get the same message from site owners every few weeks: "My traffic dropped. Why?"

The cause is usually small and boring:

  • a page was deleted and now returns a 404 error
  • a redirect is broken or loops
  • an old sitemap stopped working months ago
  • duplicate tags or categories split your rankings
  • a plugin update added a noindex rule by mistake

Finding the cause means opening Google Search Console, clicking through many tabs, and reading charts that were designed for experts. Most site owners do not have the time for that.

What does Stinoment Growth Assistant do?

The plugin turns this work into four simple steps:

  1. It explains your data. It connects to Google Search Console and describes changes in plain sentences, for example which pages lost clicks and which queries grew.
  2. It checks your site every day. More than 50 automatic checks look at redirects, sitemaps, missing pages, duplicate tags, and basic security.
  3. It gives you a short weekly to-do list. You see what to do this week, in order of importance, not 200 warnings.
  4. It fixes many problems with one click. Nothing changes until you click. Every fix goes into a history with an undo button.
