SERP drop after changing theme.

Hi, I'm very worried. Before using generatepress, I used a heavier Theme, and after switching to Generate Press, my site dropped a lot in Google rankings (SERP).
Is it normal for this to happen? What do you recommend doing? Will he come back naturally?
Urgent! Please help me!
Hi Jhonny,
Aside from switching themes, did you make any specific design/layout changes?
Can you also provide the link to your site? We’ll check if there are any performance issues you need to address as this also factors in to Google Rankings.
Yes, I used a template from the library.
This Demo is completely different from the old Layout.
I see. Major changes like this commonly cause ranking drop. See here for more info: https://www.contentkingapp.com/academy/ranking-drop/#recent-changes
Try to improve your site’s performance as well. I would recommend using a CDN. Also use next-gen images - WebP or AVIF images are ideal.
