I just discovered that Google Search Console has finally addressed the month-long delay in their page indexing report. It felt like a stroke of relief when I saw the report now displays data as recent as just a few days ago. This is the usual schedule for updates and I’m thrilled to have this crucial tool back on track.
Another piece of good news: emails notifying about indexing issues have resumed, so we site owners can stay informed directly through our inboxes once again.
Page Indexing Report. This indispensable tool helps me understand which pages on my site Google can find and index, along with highlighting any potential problems. It also allows me to submit any fixes and see if they’ve been successfully implemented. Previously, when the report was delayed, we couldn’t verify our fixes or check the indexing status of new and existing pages, which was quite frustrating.
Fixed Issues. Here’s a screenshot of the updated report, showcasing a more current date—December 14th—instead of the long-stagnant November 21st:
Besides, Google has also resolved the delays in performance reports just yesterday! It’s a relief to know that most significant reports are now functioning smoothly, though it’s always wise to stay prepared for potential future hiccups.
Why It Matters to Us. Over the past month, many of us struggled to provide up-to-date reporting to our SEO clients and stakeholders. With the recent fixes, we now have access to the latest data for both page indexing and performance reports.
This means we can get back to speed with our reporting tasks, just in time before the holiday season sets in.
