    In this process, did you remove pages? In my experience, it’s so much better to improve rather than remove. 

    Google works in mysterious ways and sometimes crappy pages can do really well. 

    Also for the tools you built it’s possible Google can’t see them, I’ve seen this happen on vibe coded tools and pages where Google doesn’t wait for scripts to load, so though the UX is good, Google can’t or doesn’t want to see the page.
