Confusing post for me. Ad redirects? are we talking page URL redirects or just image URL redirects? the GSC pattern looks a lot like page URLs changed. did they? I would recommend to this kind of analysis https://www.fullstackoptimization.com/a/google-update https://www.fullstackoptimization.com/a/google-update so basically - did the page URLs change? - 4 SEO tests - and then winner/loser pages analysis. Update: 4 SEO tests are better outlined here https://www.fullstackoptimization.com/a/seo-basics https://www.fullstackoptimization.com/a/seo-basics

There's no ads. Over time I've change page URLs, partly as a migration from Blogger to Docusaurus, partly due to just changing page URLs without thinking about it. I've changed image URLs by switching from PNG to WebP and back again. Thanks for the link will check it out.

    > that was the latin "ad" aka "about" Latin "ad" is more like "to" or "toward", but I've never seen it used to mean "about". FWIW. You might be aiming for "ab", with which autocorrect will likely refuse to cooperate.

      ok, new learnings, "ad" in the meaning of "about" is not used like this in english. in german the latin "ad" is used as "about that point" and even part of the Duden (basically the official guide to the german language) https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/ad https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/ad did not know that its more a german thing.
