Indie developer daluoseo shared their site's organic traffic chart: after peaking around 600k in mid-2025, traffic crashed to roughly 100k by December 2025 following Google algorithm updates. After 10 months of slow grinding, traffic has finally surged back to about 450k — a real-world case of long-tail recovery after a core-update devastation.
