I've recently revamped one of my websites (all the pages have changed) I've lost 20 ranks in Google. This is what I have done.


Website revamp
Changed host to a faster host, it's also nearer to my targetted audience
Maintained most of the previous websites' URL's. I've placed 301s to the root on links that don't exist anymore as well.
I forgot to reindex my page / submit my sitemap to google till this morning (I'm wondering if this has anything to do with my lost in ranks)

I don't think this is an issue from the website revamp itself.

Its most probably to do with the 301 redirects.

Google once stated


a small amount of PageRank is lost through a 301 redirect, which is
the same as through a link.


SEO Moz carried out some tests on this matter and seen a drop in traffic up to 15% for the keywords that were relevant.
