Hi,

This is a bit weird one. My site started to loose organic rating and I started to investigate. I have following code on each product page (this is an example)

<link rel="alternate" href="https://www.hatsfromoz.com/edgy-silver-fascinator-by-fillies-collection/" hreflang="en-us" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://www.hatsfromoz.com.au/edgy-silver-fascinator-by-fillies-collection/" hreflang="en-au" />

Somehow, those links changed to https://www.hatsfromoz.com/edgy-silver-fascinator-by-fillies-collection/?utm_source=Google%20Shopping&utm_campaign=Googel%20Product%20Feed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=159981

(same for .com.au) site. As you see extra parameters got added.

I started to investigate and disabled GTM4WP plugin. Extra parameters disappeared. I then turned GTM4WP back on, but do not see the problem anymore.

Do you have any explanation? I am a bit lost.
