suspected<\/a> that maybe the HTTPs algorithm was updated and given more weight. But Google\u2019s Gary Illyes dismissed that, too.<\/p>\nIn Google\u2019s own words:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not a Panda update. As you know, we are always making improvements to our search algorithms and the web is constantly evolving. We are going to continue to work on improvements across the board.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
So \u2026 What Was It?<\/h2>\n
Now, the question is if it wasn\u2019t a Panda update, a Penguin update, or the HTTPs algorithm update, what was it?<\/p>\n
As it turned out, it was a usual Google\u2019s core search algorithm update that Google works on almost all the time. Gary Illyes later confirms this on Twitter with the following tweet:<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Google will not give us any further details about this algorithm update.<\/p>\n
The extraordinary changes in multiple SERPs could also be the result of the fact that Wikipedia changed all its URLs to go to the HTTPs setting. This caused a major shift in the search engine results on the first page of Google.<\/p>\n
But as Google also confirmed the core search algorithm update, the change could be the result of both these changes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Final Words<\/h2>\n
As always, Google is going to keep working towards a better search engine. If you want to prepare and survive for any unexpected and unannounced major Google update, make sure your SEO strategy is inline with all the latest Google recommendations.<\/p>\n
