Expert Needed: WordPress, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare & Technical SEO – 90% Drop in Google Impressions
I am looking for an experienced technical expert with strong knowledge of WordPress, LiteSpeed Server, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare, and technical SEO.
My website has experienced a massive drop in Google Search visibility.
The Problem
Since approximately August 26, 2026, my website's Google Search Console impressions have dropped by around 90%.
Before this date, the website had significantly more visibility and traffic. The decline was very substantial and happened within a relatively short period of time.
I am looking for someone who can perform a deep technical investigation to identify the actual cause.
This is not simply an SEO optimization job. I need someone who understands the interaction between:
WordPress
LiteSpeed Server
LiteSpeed Cache
Cloudflare
DNS
CDN
Security/firewall settings
Googlebot
Google Search Console
Technical SEO
Crawling and indexing
What I Need You to Investigate
Please investigate whether the traffic/impression loss could be related to any of the following:
Cloudflare configuration
LiteSpeed Server configuration
LiteSpeed Cache
Cloudflare Firewall / Bot Protection
DNS configuration
SSL/TLS configuration
robots.txt
XML sitemap
Canonical tags
Noindex directives
HTTP status codes
Redirects
Server errors
Timeouts
Googlebot crawling/accessibility
Crawl budget or crawl issues
WordPress configuration
WordPress plugins
Recent technical changes
Indexing problems
Website performance / Core Web Vitals
Google algorithm or spam updates
I also want to determine whether there is a possible connection between the traffic drop starting around August 26 and recent Google updates.
However, I do not want assumptions. I want the conclusion to be based on actual data and technical evidence.
Google Search Console Analysis
Please analyze, among other things:
Impressions
Clicks
Average position
CTR
Search queries
Landing pages
Countries/devices if relevant
Indexing status
Page indexing changes
Crawl statistics
Search Console warnings/errors
Changes before and after August 26
I would also like to identify which URLs and search queries were affected most severely.
Important: Diagnose First, Change Later
Please do not immediately change Cloudflare, LiteSpeed, WordPress, or SEO settings.
The preferred process is:
1. Analyze → 2. Identify the cause → 3. Explain the findings → 4. Recommend corrective actions → 5. Implement changes → 6. Verify the results
I want to understand what caused the 90% drop before making potentially risky changes.
Required Experience
You should have strong practical experience with:
WordPress
LiteSpeed Web Server
LiteSpeed Cache
Cloudflare
DNS/CDN
Technical SEO
Google Search Console
Google crawling and indexing
Server logs
Website performance
Troubleshooting sudden Google traffic/ranking drops
Experience diagnosing sudden and significant Google visibility losses is highly preferred.
What I Expect as a Result
At the end of the initial investigation, I want a clear diagnosis explaining:
What happened?
What is the most likely cause?
Which technical problems were found?
Which URLs or areas are affected?
Is Cloudflare involved?
Is LiteSpeed involved?
Is WordPress involved?
Are there Google crawling or indexing problems?
Is there evidence of a Google algorithm/spam-related issue?
What exactly needs to be fixed?
What should NOT be changed?
What steps should be taken to recover Google visibility?
If the cause is identified, I am also interested in having the necessary technical fixes implemented.
When Applying
Please include:
Your experience with LiteSpeed Server / LiteSpeed Cache
Your experience with Cloudflare
Your experience with WordPress
Your experience with technical SEO and Google Search Console
How you would investigate a sudden 90% drop in Google impressions
What access/data you would need from me
Your hourly rate or fixed price for the initial investigation
When you can start
Please only apply if you have hands-on experience with WordPress + LiteSpeed + Cloudflare + technical SEO.
I am looking for a technical problem solver, not someone who will simply make generic SEO recommendations or promise quick ranking improvements.
The priority is to find the real cause of the sudden visibility loss and fix it safely.
