# How Can I Tell Whether an Organic Traffic Drop Is Seasonal or Site-Related?

Our organic traffic fell over the last few weeks, but the timing overlaps with both a site redesign and a period when demand usually dips. I don’t want to blame the redesign if this is just a normal seasonal pattern—or miss a technical problem by assuming it is.

What comparisons are most useful for separating **organic traffic seasonality** from changes caused by a site update? Would you start with year-over-year data, landing pages, or something else?
