Nearly 7,000 FEWER Total Views in April!

I believe the new Etsy layout has hurt my shop significantly.  It has hurt my total views, my "shop views" and my tea cup section views.

I finished April with 6,603 FEWER total views than March 2-30.
And 6,390 FEWER 'Shop Views"!
And 2,077 FEWER views for my teacup section home page!
And 2,400 Fewer Etsy App views.

Although I did have 10 more orders for April compared to March 2-30.

This layout is something that will/has hurt my shop permanently.
It is a permanent change to the layout that relevancy and titles and tags will not repair.
Changing the layout for mobile devices is bad for desktops, where most purchases take place?

I know according to my Google Analytics stats, less than half of my visitors are on mobile devices.

This could be THE change that ends my shop???

Will just have to wait and see.  It does not look good.
