Week 6 Report: Stabilization after the boom
Impressions dropped to 60, but the number of indexed pages grew to 24. Typical Google Sandbox behavior.

Status: Stabilization (and correction) in GSC
Week six brings a reality check. After the initial spike in indexation (and impressions) last week, we experienced a natural correction. Impressions dropped to 60, and clicks to zero.

Why does this happen? Google often “tests” new domains by temporarily pushing them higher in the results, then corrects their position to gauge real user value (the so-called Google Sandbox effect or Honeymoon period).
Good news: The index is growing
Despite the drop in impressions, our technical SEO is doing its job. We now have 24 indexed pages. The algorithm is regularly crawling new subpages, which means our Astro-based pipeline is 100% clear.
