We closely observe search engine algorithm monitoring tools and recently we observed these tools going nuts on 16th & 20th September. We also noticed considerable traffic change on our website on 16th September & 20th September 2017.
You may know that recently Google’s Gary Illyes said that search engine algorithm monitoring tools get the report right most of the time, especially MozCast. He said that MozCast usually get it more right than the other tools and this is why we assume that something happened on 16th and 20th September.
These third-party tools show high temperature on 16th & 20th September. Many webmasters complained about high bounce rate, the downfall of Traffic, low page per session etc. There may be a minor (or major?) Google algorithm update.
