RPMS -50% drop the last two days?

Hello, My Journey RPMs dropped -50% in the last two days, which seems unusual for February. Are you able to check if there is any issue with my website on Journey?

    Hey Rudy D - RPM normally drops around the start of the month - that's normal. However, when I first went to your site, I was running into a 502 gateway error. I had another co-worker check and they ran into the same thing. As soon as we refreshed, the site pulled up without an issue. I'd recommend reaching out to your host to make sure everything is good on their end! 

    Outside of that, your Journey script looks normal. I would recommend increasing your font size and line height though - just a bit! 

    We recommend a font size of 18px minimum going no higher than 22px. Font size is an easy change to apply, and it gives your entire site a bump in length, and most importantly, SEO. Additionally, It looks like your line height is set to 1.5 at the moment. A quick suggestion here would be to increase your current line height to 1.6-1.8 to increase readability.

    Thanks Mary! 502 gateway error must have been a cloudflare outage.. I will add it to a live check cron job to make sure this is not a regular thing. Thanks for the readability tip, will implement this right away.

    Hi. i Installed WP Rocket a week ago, and my RPM startet to fall from a low 6 to only 1 in 3-4 days.  I have done the scriptwrapper as you recommended, but i cant understand why its been dropping so fast after WP Rocket installation. The site got much faster in Google Pagespeed but yhat dont help the ads :(

    Maybe i should deactivate WP??

    Frode Remmen Using WP Rocket is up to your discretion, but I did confirm the script isn't getting optimized.

    I did notice the Grow script is installed 3 times. You'll want to remove 2 instances of the script so the Grow script is only installed once on the site to ensure your data is accurate.

    Oh…Thank you. I didnt even noticed i had 3 scripts going:?!.

     I have removed 2 now, could you please confirm that its running ok now?

     

    I have mailed support at WP Rocket, so they should check more from their end.
