One of my websites is loosing number of pages shown in Google search drastically in last month or two. I have lost over 60% pages listed there and can't figure out why. I have done a lot of offpage SEO and onpage SEO is pretty good. In Google Search Console everything look OK, no errors, no warnings and i run out of ideas how to fix this and improve it.
There is only one issue at search console (if that can be an issue) that i submitted my website with http:// while my website is redirecting to https:// and all listed pages in Google search appear as https://www....
I really need some good advice if you have idea what i should do!!!

This could result in a page index drop because now your code is slightly different and Google may be trying to evaluate you more before pushing you to the top of the rankings again.
Have you changed any of the code to your headers, footers or other static pages?
Even slight edits can affect an entire website
Have you moved over to a new hosting company?
This will guarantee that your rankings drop a bit because you're changing your IP and you may be a little slower than your previous hosting company.
Did you use to have a dedicated IP and now you're on a shared IP?
If so, you may see a drop in rankings because now there are multiple websites on the same IP address.
Did you edit anything that has to do with your robots.txt file?
If you were playing around with it you could have messes something up and when Google came back to spider your pages they weren't allowed to. This will slowly result in a loss in indexed pages in their search results.
Was your site down for a while?
Sometimes when a website goes down for a while, whether it be for maintenance or a hosting problem, Google will begin to remove your listings from their search results because they want to show only websites and pages that are active.
If you haven't done any of the above, what else could have gone wrong? [b]Has anything changed with your website?
