GSC report no issues in either Page experience, Core web vitals, Mobile usability.
AHrefs shows a score of 97%
Ubersuggest shows a score of 96%
And yet(!) on June 6 / 7, traffic just collapsed. Some pages went from position 2, 3 down to 30, 40.

Be interested to hear others' tales of woe. Or maybe someone benefitted?!
