What's going on right now
Google's Search Status Dashboard lists the November 2026 core update, released Nov 10, 2026, with a note that the rollout may take up to 2 weeks. When I checked on Nov 14, the dashboard hadn't posted a completion update yet.
Google's own guidance on core updates suggests waiting until the rollout finishes, then comparing a week after it with a week before it started. You can run this check now to see where things are moving, then run it again once the update is done.

How to export the files from Search Console (1 minute)
- Open Search Console, pick your property, and go to Performance → Search results.
- Set the date range to your "before" period (for example, the 7 days before Nov 10). Use a single date range, not the Compare option. Open the Pages tab.
- Select Export → Download CSV. You get a zip; inside it is
Pages.csv. That's your "before" file. - Change the date range to your "after" period, same number of days, and export again. That's your "after" file.
Search Console exports up to 1,000 rows per table, so very large sites will see their top pages only. Data also arrives with a delay of a couple of days, so leave the most recent days out of your "after" range.

Totals are summed from the rows in your exports, so they can differ a little from the chart totals in Search Console, which include rows the export leaves out.
The full diagnosis: $19, one time
The free check tells you where clicks went. The paid page helps you work out why:
- Ranking drop or CTR drop? Every page is labelled: large ranking drop, small ranking drop, fewer searches, CTR drop, gone, new, or gained. The click change is split into "lost because impressions fell" and "lost because CTR fell".
- Sections, not just pages. Group by URL folder (like
/blog/) to see whether the drop is sitewide or limited to one part of your site. - The full table with filters, winners vs losers, and a CSV export of everything.
- Query-level compare if you also load your Queries exports.
- A recovery checklist based on Google Search Central's published guidance, with links to the source pages.
Same privacy as here: everything runs in your browser.

This tool shows what changed in your data. It can't tell you for certain why a search engine ranked your pages differently, and it can't promise any recovery.
Why I made this
I'm Iggy, a software builder. Every core update I see the same posts: "my traffic fell, what did I do wrong?" Often the honest answer starts with reading your own Search Console data carefully: which pages, how much, and whether position or click-through rate moved. This does that bookkeeping for you so you can spend your time on the pages.
