I've 'lost' my Google Referral international traffic

[bmayer09]

We recently launched a new version of our website on the PrestaShop platform.  On our old DNN platform, we would typically see several thousand clicks a month from Google Referral (domestic) and several thousand more collectively from Google Referral international traffic (i.e. UK, Canada, Germany, France). This was the data being reported in Google Analytics. Once the new site went live however, Google Referral traffic, both domestic and international, all dropped to 0.   My question is:  Did we lose this traffic due to some improper setting on our new platform, or is this Google Referral traffic simply being re-categorized into another category, i.e. Organic Search?

Hi There,

There could be several different issues you've run into here:

1. One issue could be that there is a site coding error. I would refer to your team of webmasters for this and have them double check all URLs and coding structures to see if they can determine the issue themselves. It is possible that Google is having a hard time reading, crawling and indexing your pages.

2. Go into your Google Search Console and check your inbox/messages! Whenever Google finds an issue with your site (and it looks like  in your case, it has) you will receive an email in your Google Search Console inbox.

You should still have specific results for Google Referrals, this data should not have randomly turned into organic.

Hope this helps!

Hi bmayer09!

Because this question appears to be essentially identical to another one you've posted, I'm going to lock it to further responses. Thanks for understanding.
