Card class: Non-Hero • Category: Page SEO Performance
A table of the pages whose organic clicks dropped the most period on period, ranked so you can find and fix the biggest losses in search before they compound.

​
At a glance

Pages Losing Traffic ranks the individual pages whose organic clicks fell the most across the selected period, drawn from Search Console’s page-level Performance data. It is the early-warning list for SEO and content teams: it isolates exactly which URLs are bleeding search traffic so you can triage a ranking slip, a de-indexed page or a content decay issue before it drags the whole site down.

​
What it tracks

The card shows Pages Losing Traffic, broken down by row, with one row per URL. It compares each page’s organic clicks (alongside impressions, CTR and average position) for the current period against the prior period, using the page dimension of the Search Console Performance report, and lists the biggest fallers. A page lands here when its rankings slip, when a query it depended on shrinks, or when it has dropped out of the index altogether. There is no fixed threshold on this card; treat any sizeable faller as a triage item. Cross-check it against Declining Queries to see which searches drove the loss, Pages Not Indexed to rule out a de-indexing cause, and Pages Gaining Traffic for the offsetting positive side.

​
Reconciling against the source

Reconcile against Search Console → Performance → Pages, using the date-range comparison (“Compare” mode) to sort pages by click difference and surface the biggest declines. Keep in mind GSC data is typically 2 to 3 days delayed, rare queries are anonymised, and the page table is capped at 1,000 rows, so confirm a suspected loss with the URL Inspection tool before acting.
