Hi!

This was the performance on my site in Discover once a time (you also see when Google did samthing so the traffic dropped). My question: is it passible to come back to this amount for the site in Discover (and start surface again on Discover as there is zero traffic from that right now), or is it best to just turn the site down?

Thanks!
Have a great weekend!

@rasmushe @searchliaison If your site depends on Discover traffic, that sounds bad regardless of your specifics. In our documentation, we mention "Given the serendipitous nature of Discover, traffic from Discover is less predictable or dependable when compared to Search, and is considered supplemental to your Search traffic. Our ongoing work to improve Discover’s user experience means sites may see changes in their traffic unrelated to the quality or publishing frequency of their content."

@johnmu @searchliaison Thanks John! (And yeah, it's for sure that I have seen a difference in the Discover traffic and it would be nice to know if the site can do a "comeback"). No manual actions are in place and has never been 😀
