Prerendering and Google indexing - a tad worried

I cannot get my CMS posts indexed, they all stay in a “Discovered - currently not indexed” state, which is kind of worrying since Google states it might come back and recrawl your site - whatever that means… This applies to my CMS posts mostly.

If I force prerendering for a CMS post (add query ?prerendering=true), all seems fine and all HTML is present and valid in the DevTool. Has anyone else experienced problems with GSC not indexing your new pages on Divhunt?

Also @dejan we really, really, really need proper 301 redirect on server level - please :pray:t3:

If I had that option now, the indexing issue might not be a problem since I’d be able to kindof force Google to revisit my site for the redirected URLs - I think :wink:

Update:
After some more research the “Discovered - currently not indexed” can mean one of several things:

  • Google hasn’t crawled the URL yet due to crawl budget limitations or other priorities.
  • The content might be considered duplicate, non-essential, or low quality.
  • There could be technical issues or directives preventing indexing, such as a ‘noindex’ tag or blocked by robots.txt.
  • The website or specific URL might be new, and Google hasn’t processed it yet for indexing.

This might be an “please wait” thing or another quality issue.

I use rich text blocks on all posts, that is the only thing I can think of being a “quality issue”…

Both robots.txt and sitemap.xml has been validated and passed so all good there…

I’ll release redirect rules tomorrow.

About indexing issues, our website Divhunt have CMS pages indexed properly, might only take a bit more time from Google or something.

However, let’s monitor the situation and see what’s going on.
