Worst possible traffic day today. Although it was expected.
But still around 80% fall in traffic in many sites is quite alarming.

Every niche I know off is getting hit one after another.
This weekend started good as first Europe was not hit. But as US was hit after a couple of hours Canada and entire EU (which were left) was hit.
Around 60% fall in traffic on average.

Meanwhile, our own UK traffic is no where to be found. Don't forget that. @

tabassum21 Still it's very unusual. Having a few handful countries in lockdown and few minor changes in the algo can create this much disruption in traffic I had no idea.

One small site of ours. Just rank for two keywords. Today even those were stolen by youtube videos.
