Facebook Traffic
Although a couple of years ago, Facebook users didn't care about their page traffic but as the social media platform integrated a win-win Content Monetization Program, users now monitor how their contents perform on Facebook.
Facebook page traffic is one of the major parameters that determine how much a Facebook user is paid at the end of a month. So, the higher the Facebook Traffic to a user's page, the higher the money a user earns in the running month.
This relationship between Facebook Traffic and the amount earnable from the Facebook Monetization Program has awakened many people to ask and frequently show concerns about what could be responsible for a drop in their Facebook Traffic.
Below are some of the factors responsible for a drop in the Facebook Traffic of a user's account.
Algorithm changes
The first reason there may be a drop in a user's posts' performances on Facebook is a change in Facebook's Algorithm.
No doubt, Facebook's algorithm changes frequently, and this can impact your page's visibility.
Facebook's Algorithm changes as the company updates its policies or updates the network. Some updates may lead to restrictions or limitations on the viewability of some Facebook content which might have enjoyed less Facebook's restrictions in the past.
Content quality
The quality of Facebook content is a measure of many features including originality, attractiveness, or relevance of the content.
Facebook Traffic to a page may be reduced if the contents posted on the page have been virally shared by others in the past.

Also, if the content posted to a Facebook page is not attractive to the followers of the page, traffic to the face will drop.
Posting frequency
Simply, posting too little or too much can affect your Facebook traffic.
This might be strange but Facebook will not frequently recommend your post among posts to be displayed on other users' timelines if you post too little. An average of five posts per week could be enough to attain the pass mark in this regard.
Also, when you post too much, the Facebook algorithm may lower the rate of Visibility of your posts on others' timelines. What happens is that the Facebook bot assumes your account has been hijacked by a bot or unauthorized users. Hence, your posts are considered to be spam during this period until the Facebook bot can update your rate of submitting posts on the network.
Competition
Facebook now hosts several intellectual competitors across fields. Hence, increased competition from other pages or content creators with better ratings on content quality may be responsible for a drop in your Facebook Traffic.
Audience engagement
The ways your followers react to your posts may often affect the ways Facebook values your content, and this may impact your page traffic.
Audience engagement may include whether your followers share your post, react to your post, comment on your post, or even report your post to Facebook. All these are used by Facebook to determine how often your post should be listed on other users' walls, and this affects your page traffic.
In short, low engagement from your audience can signal to Facebook that your content is not valuable.
Technical issues
Problems with your page or Facebook's platform can impact traffic.
This also trended:
The technical issues may include failure on the side of the Facebook algorithm or when you accidentally set the visibility of your post or Facebook account from public to friends only, friends of friends, or even only me. This may also include network performance in your audience's area, and accessibility of Facebook server, among others. All these impact the traffic.
Seasonal fluctuations
Traffic can vary due to seasonal changes, holidays, societal mood, time of the day, and so many other factors that may have to do with human behaviors.

All these may be responsible for the drop in your Facebook traffic. Look at your Facebook insights, and make necessary adjustments while your Facebook Traffic gets maximized.
