Site indexing and traffic increased so dramatically overnight
-
Number of indexed pages jumped from 39000 to 52000 and traffic increased around 50% in my site.Note: used "site" command to check the indexed pages. I understand this is approximate.In addition, number of crawled pages/day also increased dramatically.No change in the robots.txt, sitemap, crawl errors and duplicate issues. But server migrated to different IT infrastructure.
Before any celebration, want to identify the helper.
Thanks.

just a thougth, ip number change may of triggered a re crawl, and pages could be doubled up .
I remebr ewhen i changed ip numbers rankings disapeared a for a few days.

Site performance didn't improve according to GWT.
Is there any Google preferred IT infrastructure list? - May be expecting too much.
FYI, previous infrastructure was managed by normal ISP.
Didn't submit any new sitemap. But crawled pages per day increased around 3 times.

No nothing specific, but just from experience, you move somthing delete something, replace somthinng, and all of a sudden some orther problem disapears. you may never know what it was.

Thanks for your time.
Checked performance and it didn't improve.
Previous infrastructure was managed by normal ISP. Now migrated to enterprise service provider. ( sorry for avoiding the names here)
You mentioned as something was fixed. Any insight on the other possible areas will be helpful.
Thanks.

Matt cutss has stated that load speed has to be pretty bad before it is an issue and then it is only a small signal. Less than 15 of sites send that signal. So I doubt that was the problem, it could be that that ip has some bad rep, hosting some shoddy websites on same ip.
But my number one guess is that somthing was fixed in the transfere to the new servers. I know you have stated thats not the case, but it may be something you are not aware of. -
Could be a number of things,
Site could be faster on the new server.
Additional elements from the XML site map could have been picked up by Google?
But yes site/ IT infrastructure needs to be top notch to yield the best results from IM.

Migration + Change of Address Tool used - previous site de-indexed!!
OMG disaster! Recently migrated my site womencycles.com to moonrise.health. Painstakingly went through each URL manually to map out redirects, notified Google via change of address tool. Bam. My old website has disappeared from Google and my new site has thus lost all it's organic (i.e. redirected) traffic. I don't get it. I think I have done everything by the book, but it seems my old site has disappeared and no authority or link juice has been passed to my new site by the 301s, as the new site isn't ranking either. Some examples: https://www.google.com/search?q=women+cycles&oq=women+cycles&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i65j69i61l2j69i60.1834j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 'women cycles' previous position 1

URLs dropping from index (Crawled, currently not indexed)
I've noticed that some of our URLs have recently dropped completely out of Google's index. When carrying out a URL inspection in GSC, it comes up with 'Crawled, currently not indexed'. Strangely, I've also noticed that under referring page it says 'None detected', which is definitely not the case. I wonder if it could be something to do with the following? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ranking-index-drop-30192.html - It seems to be a bug affecting quite a few people. Here are a few examples of the URLs that have gone missing: https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/sexual-harassment-awareness-training https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/conflict-resolution-training https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/prevent-duty-training Any help here would be massively appreciated!

301 Multiple Sites to Main Site
Over the past couple years I had 3 sites that sold basically the same products and content. I later realized this had no value to my customers or Google so I 301 redirected Site 2 and Site 3 to my main site (Site 1). Of course this pushed a lot of page rank over to Site 1 and the site has been ranking great. About a week ago I moved my main site to a new eCommerce platform which required me to 301 redirect all the url's to the new platform url's which I did for all the main site links (Site 1). During this time I decided it was probably better off if I DID NOT 301 redirect all the links from the other 2 sites as well. I just didn't see the need as I figured Google realized at this point those sites were gone and I started fearing Google would get me for Page Rank munipulation for 301 redirecting 2 whole sites to my main site. Now I am getting over 1,000 404 crawl errors in GWT as Google can no longer find the URL's for Site 2 and Site 3. Plus my rankings have dropped substantially over the past week, part of which I know is from switching platforms. Question, did I make a mistake not 301 redirecting the url's from the old sites (Site 2 and Site 3) to my new ecommerce url's at Site 1?

If you are organizing the site structure for an ecommerce site, how would you do it?
Should you use not use slashes and use all dashes or use just a few slashes and the rest with dashes? For example, domain.com/category/brand/product-color-etc OR domain.com/anythinghere-color-dimensions-etc Which structure would you rather go for and why?
