Google Not Indexing Pages (Wordpress)

Hasanovic

Hello, recently I started noticing that google is not indexing our new pages or our new blog posts.

We are simply getting a "Discovered - Currently Not Indexed" message on all new pages. When I click "Request Indexing" is takes a few days, but eventually it does get indexed and is on Google.

This is very strange, as our website has been around since the late 90's and the quality of the new content is neither duplicate nor "low quality". We started noticing this happening around February. We also do not have many pages - maybe 500 maximum?

I have looked at all the obvious answers (allowing for indexing, etc.), but just can't seem to pinpoint a reason why.

Has anyone had this happen recently? It is getting very annoying having to manually go in and request indexing for every page and makes me think there may be some underlying issues with the website that should be fixed.

Your webpage needs to be on par with google quality standard, simple as that (or googlebot crawl is not reached there yet)

Hi, I was also having this problem. I used to submit my urls to the Google Search Console index but all I would get was a "Discovered - Currently Not Indexed" message.

My site has been online for two years and had a very good ranking. I looked everywhere for a solution to my problem, then I discovered this service called IndexMeNow.

Basically, IndexMeNow uses today a combo of 3 indexing methods.

I don't know how it does it, but I was able to solve my problem. I hope I have been helpful.

I have the same issue. From yesterday, I have started a task of website audit. In first stage, I audited our entire blog posts one by one. I made a checklist with some important fields like Title, Description, Broken Links, Mobile Friendliness, Google Indexing, Load time, and much more.

When I tested our latest blog post on Google indexing, it showed that it was not indexed yet. The last blog post was indexed on 7th September and after this date we published around 5 blogs and none of them are indexed on Google yet.

However, when I inspected the URL on Google Search Console, it gave me an error HTTPS is invalid and might prevent it from being indexed, which might be the cause of why it wasn’t indexed.

I was thinking that maybe it happened due to SSL expiry. For this, I also discussed this matter with our IT head but he said that this is not an SSL issue.

I read several Google guides and tips and have followed their steps to identify the error but I didn't find any such error in our website or in source code.

Anyone can help in this because this is a critical issue.
Thanks in advance

Just wait bro, because if not doing nothing in own page like blog comment or something else. Will be indexing, cause google have new parameter crawl indexing. Example my blog https://www.blog.kontainerindonesia.co.id/ take 3-4 days got indexed if we update new post

New websites with zero links or authority can take up to weeks ~ months to even index. So really there's nothing wrong with google, it's just that your priority is'nt that big at the moment.

How to index someone else's page in Google? Is there any way to get the page indexed by Google?
It was created as I call them WEB2.0, but it is not really possible to add it to the Google console for indexing.
Example http://bereznyj.com.ua/posts/24-r-dk-shpalery-na-stelyu.html

you can create your own blog on the site and post articles with links, but they are not indexed

I have had a similar experience for one of my client websites. It was a new domain and we have tried multiple items as well. It has taken approx. a quarter for us as well however, to boost the indexation rate what we have done (at a high level) is:

a) Optimize our website page load time.
b) Deploy a paid CDN plan.
c) Raised the resources crawled bandwidth in coordination with our hosting provider so when search engines crawl the site the resource limit is not reached causing search engines to avoid crawling the website as it can overload the server.
d) Optimized basic on page SEO and followed best practices like create XML, HTML sitemaps, internal links etc.
e) Added schema markup for pages.

Lastly, we also created Google My Business posts and shared pages on social media to encourage pages to be indexed.
