Top Landing Page has disappeared from Google Search Console but still shows at the top of Google

Hi,
One of the top landing pages in my website has disappeared from GSC Search Analytics results. But I do get a good traffic from that page until now. What might be the reason for GSC to stop showing it on the results?

OK the firts place that you need to check is blocked resources report, so basically you need to know if there is a problem with your robot.txt
Googlebot needs access to many resources on your page in order to render and index the page optimally. For example, JavaScript, CSS, and image files should be available to Googlebot so that it can see pages like an average user.
If a site's robots.txt file disallows crawling these resources, it can affect how well Google renders and indexes the page, which can affect the page's ranking in Google search.
OPEN THE BLOCKED RESOURCES REPORT
How to read the report
This report shows resources used by your site that are blocked to Googlebot. Not all resources are shown, only resources that we think might be under your control.- The report landing page shows a list of hosts that provide resources on your site that are blocked by robots.txt rules. Some resources will be hosted on on your own site, and some will be hosted on other sites.
- Click on any host in the table to see a list of blocked resources from that host, with a count of pages on your site affected by each blocked resource.
- Click on any blocked resource in the table for a list of your pages that load the resource.
- Click on any page in the table hosting a blocked resource for instructions on how to unblock that resource, or else follow the instructions below under How to unblock your resources.
You can navigate backward up this path by clicking the appropriate link in the "breadcrumb path" that appears at the top of the page as you click deeper: Blocked resources > Blocking host > Blocked resource name.
