Short summary and what to check first (for ): deleting pages can absolutely change measured site metrics — Alexa’s historical rank was a rolling estimate based on estimated daily visitors and page‑views, so removing pages that attracted visits will reduce those numbers and make a rank look worse. Note: Amazon retired the Alexa.com service on May 1, 2022, and Alexa’s public metrics are no longer a reliable, live reference for most sites. See background on Alexa’s method and the retirement. (Wikipedia: Alexa Internet, Bleeping Computer, Kinsta explainer).

Quick diagnostic checklist (do these in order):

  • Compare page-level traffic before/after the deletions in Google Analytics (GA4: Pages & Screens) so you can see exactly which removed URLs drove visits.
  • Check Google Search Console Index Coverage for spikes in “Not found (404)” or soft 404s and review the Removals tool if needed.
  • Scan server logs (or your host’s access logs) for referrers or high-traffic requests to the deleted URLs.
  • Look for backlinks pointing to removed pages (use Search Console Links or a backlink tool) — external links to deleted pages are common causes of lost traffic.

Resources for those checks: see GA4 Pages & Screens and Google Search Central guidance on sitemaps and removals. (, Sitemaps overview, ).

Fixes that actually help (short, actionable):

  • If a deleted page had traffic or inbound links, put a server-side 301 redirect to the best-relevant page (or the new location). If the content truly must be gone, serve a 410 or let it 404 — but only after you’ve handled links that mattered.
  • Update and resubmit your XML sitemap and request recrawl for important URLs in Search Console.
  • Remove or fix internal links that pointed to deleted pages to avoid user and crawler 404s.
  • Reconcile analytics after fixes to verify traffic recovered where expected. (See Google’s redirect and HTTP status guidance.) (Redirects, HTTP codes)

A short caution about “quick fixes”: avoid traffic‑exchange or artificially generated visits — they don’t improve real engagement, can skew analytics, and may cause policy/invalid‑traffic problems for ad accounts. Use Analytics + Search Console as ground truth for diagnosing real losses. ().

This builds on points already raised by , , , and — the next concrete step is to run the checklist above and post the GA/Search Console numbers for the date ranges immediately before and after your deletions.

Hello amurtaza123,
Actually alexa traffic is not at all a countable one in the means of SEO, let it be and try to focus on other techniques to get high page rank.
