There has been what I would call light fluctuations in the Google search results over the past several days, some a bit over the weekend as well. There is more than the average chatter and fluctuations that you would typically see but not at really big Google update levels.

I figured I’d just write about it, just in case some of you saw ranking changes over the past several days or so, or over the weekend. But I don’t think it is something at a really large scale, like you’d see from a Google core update. Nor do I think it has anything at all to do with the page experience update.

Yes, this weekend was Father’s Day but still.

Here are two tools that picked up on the changes but most of the other tools are relatively calm – although, their scales and thresholds obviously may differ.

RankRanger showing increased movement over the weekend:

Semrush showed movement on the 17th, 18th and 19th but it calmed for a day and is now back up:

The chatter feels awkward as well, here is some of the chatter from WebmasterWorld throughout that timeframe:

It is not just the traffic, the ranking tools show changes as documented below. So who knows.

Anyway, if you noticed ranking changes – you may not be alone but keep in mind it was a Father’s Day weekend, as Juneteenth was celebrated on Friday/Saturday.
