# How Can I Tell Whether an Organic Traffic Drop Is Technical or Content-Related?

Our site’s organic traffic has fallen over the past few weeks, but the timing doesn’t point to one obvious cause. Some pages lost clicks while others stayed steady, and we haven’t made a sitewide redesign.

When diagnosing a drop like this, what evidence helps separate a [technical problem](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94661/why-is-it-that-most-technical-problems-i-have-are-with-google-chrome-and-not-with-other-browsers)—such as crawling or indexing—from content that has become less competitive? I’d appreciate suggestions for what to compare in Search Console and analytics before making changes.
