This is super stupid mistake and I feel bad about not checking it earlier.
So, check you pages guys and make sure full HTML is render and PAY ATTENTION WHEN USING LOTTIES or any other shit that needs document/window.
Press F to pay respect to TopTool...

Google clicks went down, DR went down, my self-esteem went down. I don't know if TopTool will recover from that, I just know that it would surpass $1k MRR in the very close time if it wouldn't happen and probably the traffic would only rise, not decrease.

So i started look for a solution, it turned out to be very easy, i just had to dynamically import the component...

But it seems that even with 'use client' stated, it tried to import that package and was failing because document/window is not defined on the server side 👇

So i analyzed the errors from vercel more carefully and it seemed that 5xx errors were coming from lottie package, that was installed for a very long time and it was working perfectly before.
The lottie was rendered on a client, it had 'use client' in the component.

I opened the web and tried to inspect page source and noticed that I only have FUCKING scripts in the returned HTML, which means that pages were rendered on a client using javascript. JS is shit for SEO. I was blaming everything - myself, nextjs, vercel and supabase.

I checked the logs in the vercel and I noticed that error rate was around 80% which is crazy and I didn't do any breaking changes in the last months, i was shocked.

BUT THAN THIS SHIT HAPPENED. I started checking my Google Console to see how we're doing and I was seeing a huge drop in clicks from Google.
I couldn't understand why:
- Traffic goes down, amount of indexed pages as well.
- I started seeing 5xx errors in Google console.

Financially it was also doing good, i almost made $900 MRR in peak and it was growing, I planned to add additional products and hoped I would surpass $1MRR with that, it was very close.

So I had a directory which did pretty good for the last 12 months, I got around 500k clicks from Google organically and was really happy about that. Here is how my Google Console looked like 👇

I started BlogBowl because setting up and maintaining a simple blog or changelog for a SaaS product was way too painful.
Too many tools, too much setup, and not enough focus on content.
So I built something better.

I like to meet new people, to show the the product and to hear from some of the "Ahaa, it's cool!" or "This is the best AI written blog post I've ever seen", it makes me happy like a kid 😅
