Google runs thousands of small algorithm changes every year, but a few times a year it rolls out a 'core update' — a broad change to how it evaluates and ranks content overall, which can cause noticeable ranking shifts across many sites. Google's own guidance is that the best response isn't chasing every update individually, but consistently following its long-term quality guidelines: genuinely helpful, people-first content, solid technical SEO, and a trustworthy site — sites built this way tend to recover from or avoid being negatively affected by most updates.
Trying to reverse-engineer and react to each individual algorithm update is a losing game, since updates happen constantly and Google doesn't disclose exact mechanics. The sites that stay stable long-term are the ones built around Google's stated, consistent principles — helpful content, real expertise, good technical health — rather than sites optimised narrowly for whatever seemed to work last month.
