Google's June 2026 spam update has finished

A 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.
