It is not so bad on my side, most of my projects positions increased and I didn`t got hit hard, just couple of spots drops at max or increases 1-2 pages up. All GSA SER projects.

It does seem like there was a update.

Unless it's related to the https thing,  cause i am seeing https sites ranking all over the first page for the niches that we go for.
