Hi Danny,
I think it's possible that the algorithm change may have had an unintended impact. Quality site here ranking for years and 75% of my image traffic gone overnight. See my question here:

Hello,
Since June 23rd my site arbalettv.com is having issues with crawling and indexing for each newly created page. For the past 48 hours I am unable to use "Inspect URL tool" in my Search Console. It gives the following error nonstop, "Something went wrong. If the issue persists, try again in a few hours." Three days ago I was able to use inspect URL tool and you can see "N/A" for each category in crawl and index. All newly created pages since June 23rd are getting the same "N/A" and I am not even able to check that info for pages that I created today. Pages created before June 23rd seem to be unaffected by this issue. I have nothing to do with spam and I have a quality content but something happened around June 23rd and this is affecting any page that I am creating after that date. I will appreciate if someone can investigate this issue internally. My sitemaps are working perfectly fine and those new pages are already crawled and indexed by some other search engines.

ets,
Thank you for that information. Last time I did exactly like you have suggested and no one ever replied to me. I am trying to find a way to fix "Inspect URL tool" as well as some other issues which are currently affecting my Google Search Console. Inspect URL tool has been nonoperational for the past 6 months and my Emails through contact us form are going nowhere.
