All my website images dropped from Google index

Hi davidbega,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and write a review.

For each image in our CDN, we provide the origin to the search engines via HTTP headers. Here is an example from your own website: https://i.imgur.com/uNyjbC7.png

I’m not sure what happened to your site, because thousands of users use our plugin and we’ve never received a similar complaint. If you are willing to give us the opportunity to help you, we would be happy if you send us an email (since you paid for some credits) so we can help you further and try to change this 1-star rating ??

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for your response.
Here is a screenshot from my Google Search Console https://imgur.com/a/SYrDXsG
and another from the ShortPixel dashboard https://imgur.com/a/iR5GIfW

You can see for yourself that the drop in Google indexing correlates exactly to the time I was using your CDN.

David

Hello @davidbega,

Thank you for the additional details.

I understand how frustrating it can be to see Google-sent traffic going down; many of us have been through something like this in the past. ??

But keep in mind that correlation doesn’t mean causation. ShortPixel Adaptive Images has been used for years on 10K+ websites, and this is the first time I have heard someone complaining about traffic going down. Maybe you can see some specific errors in Google Search Console that could point to the traffic drop?

As my colleague @sixaxis already pointed out, we use rel="canonical" for the images as suggested by Google here, and this means that the image on your website is considered the original.

We’ll be around if you want to further investigate this.
