Description

Hi,

Hundred if not thousands of our websites are having indexation issues on Google. This has been happening for a couple years. I know this isn't support, but I don't want to publicly post our issues. We've been using the inspection URL tool in Google Search Console, but it hasn't helped. Here's an example of a site that has been live for over a year, but only has about 3 pages indexed: ​https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aallsafeinsured.com. It should have 47 pages indexed based on its sitemap: ​https://www.allsafeinsured.com/sitemap_index.xml. Any insight would be appreciated. Do you recommend anyone who could help with these indexation issues or do you happen to see anything on your end?

Best Regards,
John Dessommes

Hi there and welcome to WordPress Trac!

Here we keep track of bugs and enhancements in WordPress core itself.

Indexing issues with search engines are not a bug with WordPress.

For support for individual sites like in your case, please use the ​support forums and consult the dedicated ​Google Search Central community for assistance.
