Google Organic Rankings Dropped by 85% after the Hosting Server Transfer

[GeorgeMatthew]

Hi, I hope everyone is doing well.

A few days ago, my hosting service provider transfer my website data to a new server. After the server transfer was completed, my website was offline for about 12 hours.

Then I contacted support and found out it happened because the SSL "Encrypt communication to and from your website using SSL" settings were set to "FULL STRICT" in Cloudflare control (inside the Hosting CDN Settings). And they changed it to "Flexible", and after that my website was live.

I am using Cloudflare as my CDN and that is attached to my hosting account. This means I don't have to manually change the CDN IP address or any settings by directly going to the Cloudflare account.

What I noticed after the server transfer, that my website organic rankings on Google dropped by 85% and therefore the overall traffic is also dropped by 80-90%. All that happened in just 1 day.

That is very unfortunate for me, and I want to know the cause behind it.

Please check the attached images of my Google Webmaster Tools.

I would be grateful if someone could help me to fix this problem.

Thanks a lot!
