Why only a few pages of my website are being indexed by google
-
Our website www.navisyachts.com has in its sitemap over 3000 pages of information, and this is all unique content written by our team. Now Google Webmaster central shows only 100 urls indexed from 3500 submitted.
Can you help me understand why and how I can fix this issue?
The website has 4 years old, is a Joomla 3.3 up to date. It has part of the content in the Joomla core content systems and part in K2.
Thank you.

Hi Dirk,
Thanks so much, I will focus my efforts on speed, to try to make the website faster. the problem we have is that is a very visual website and we use large images as it is the purpose of the company, they are very optimized but I will look if I can compress them even more. Anyway I will start first with optimizing the code and the issue with the HTTP and HTTPS.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think performance might be the main issue for your site. Check the pagespeed insights for desktop & mobile - it took the server 3.7s (!) to react. The result on Webpagetest.org is even worse 12.5s time to first byte. As you can read in this article - time to first byte seem to have a correlation with the ranking of the site. Check if your server is properly configured & sized. With these load times it's quite possible that Google refuses to index your heaviest pages as they offer a degraded user performance. Another reason could be that Google bot is not going to waste it's time waiting for your server to respond when crawling your pages.
There are some other quick wins here - compress your code, optimize images, use caching, combine css & js files, ... can all help to improve the overall performance of your pages - check these articles from Google.
A second issue is the duplicate content you have on the site - each page seems to exist in a http & https version - better to keep one & redirect the other one to the chosen version (I imagine you would want to redirect the http to the https version)
Hope this helps,
Dirk

Google Search Console
To the Moz Community, Should we be considering the information that Google Search Console is telling us? It is showing a dramatic drop in our SEO and our pages are not being indexed, however it is showing differently in our Moz Analytics section. Any clarification will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Dawn

Page Performance
Not long ago, I had a couple of peers asking why I was using sessions to evaluate page performance. They said it wasn't a good metric for evaluating a single page because it only looked at how many site visitors began their journey through you site form that page. They were trying to convert me over to pageviews, which they said was a superior metric because it show you every time that page had been loaded and therefore provided better insight. Moz uses sessions on their landing page report. Is this because it's an SEO tool, so all they are concerned with is how individual URLs attract site traffic? Signed, Confused in California

Google Webmaster Tools, about multiple entries for your website
Hi I have a doubt about Google Webmaster Tools or Central as it is call today. I remember that google recommended to have one profile of your website for each domain structure. Let me try to be more clear one profile for http://www.yoursite.com, an other for http://yoursite.com, an other for https://www.yoursite.com, etc. Then in each of them we uploaded our sitemaps and cross our fingers. Now from my experience always the complete url have better index status from the sitemap. Now my question is, today as Google requested all our websites run under https, so conserving the other profiles is affecting how google index our pages? shall we have to delete the old profiles or is better to maintain them? Thanks. Pablo

Migrated website but Google Analytics still displays old URL's and none new?!
I migrated a website from a .aspx to a .php and hence had to 301 all the old urls to the new php ones. It's been months after and I'm not seeing any of the php pages showing results but I'm still getting results from the old .aspx pages. Has any one had any experience with this issue or knows what to do? Many thanks,

Google Analytics
Looking at a client's analytics - one page doesn't seem to record 'average time on page' data (it just displays 0.00 despite it receiving traffic) This isn't an issue for the rest of the website's pages. Any idea? http://www.smilestyledental.co.uk/ppc/general-dentistry-at-smile-style.html thanks for any help!

How Google measure website bounce rate ?
Bounce rate is a SEO signal, but how Google measures it ? There is any explanation about this ? Does Google uses Analytics ? Maybe time between 2 clics in search results ? Thanks
