GuestMarch 30, 2026 at 11:34 amFrom what I’ve noticed, core updates roll out in phases rather than hitting every site at the same time. Because of that, your rankings can shift during the rollout and even change again before it finishes. Some sites see movement early, others only near the end.
So if your site changes this week, it doesn’t always mean that’s the final result. I usually wait until the rollout completes and then review the overall trend in Search Console
