Google's June 2026 spam update has finished
Original SourceA two-day rollout
Google's official status dashboard records the June 2026 spam update as starting on June 24 and completing on June 26. The notice provides no PrestaShop-specific impact assessment and cannot, by itself, identify affected pages or practices.
A ranking change during this period is therefore not automatically evidence of a penalty. Demand, competitors, technical changes and other ranking systems may also contribute.
Verify before making changes
If a store sees a decline, compare pages, queries, countries and devices in Search Console before and after the rollout. Look for a change concentrated on a specific page type rather than relying on an average position alone.
Then review the affected pages against Google's spam policies. Avoid mass deletion, deindexing or link removal without evidence. A targeted correction monitored over several weeks reduces the risk of making a poorly diagnosed problem worse.
