Indexing

The Indexation (Indexing) page checks, page by page, whether Google has indexed your site. It uses Search Console's URL inspection tool: it's free.

Before you start

Search Console must be linked to the site (see Search Console and GA4). Then click Actualiser (Refresh): the sitemap pages and those seen in Search Console are added, then inspected.

Google limits the number of inspections per day. The Quota du jour (Today's quota) line shows how many have been used: every day, a batch of pages is re-inspected automatically, starting with probed pages and those of your tracked actions.

Key figures

• Taux d'indexation (Indexing rate): indexed pages out of inspected pages;
• Non indexées (Not indexed): crawled or discovered by Google, but not indexed;
• Exclues (Excluded): noindex, canonical, redirect;
• En erreur (With errors): 404, 5xx, robots.txt…

Retirées (Removed) pages (redirected, deleted or noindex) are counted separately and left out of the calculation: they don't lower your rate.

Understand why a page isn't indexed

• Diagnostic par statut (Diagnosis by status) groups pages by reason for non-indexing and explains what to do. A new page on a young domain often takes 4 to 6 weeks to be indexed after Google discovers it; beyond 8 weeks, you need to act. Suivre (Track) creates a dated action for these pages, whose review will tell how many were indexed.
• Par dossier (By folder) gives the number of pages and indexed pages for each folder of the site (/blog, /fr…). Each page counts only once.
• Évolution (Trend) plots, day by day, the number of pages per status.
• Analyser l'indexation (Analyze indexing) asks the AI to explain, page by page, why pages aren't indexed and what to do. The analysis counts as one AI credit from your plan; Lire l'analyse (Read the analysis) reopens it, Régénérer (Regenerate) runs it again.

The page list

Filter by status (Indexées (Indexed), Non indexées, Exclues, Erreurs (Errors), À inspecter (To inspect), Retirées), by reason or by text. For each page: Statut (Status), Raison (Reason), Dernière exploration (Last crawl), presence in the Sitemap, Clics (Clicks), Impr. and inspection date. A page that is Absente du sitemap (Missing from sitemap) or for which Google a choisi une autre canonique (Google chose a different canonical) is flagged.

Two actions per page:

• Inspecter (Inspect): restarts the inspection of this page right away;
• Demander l'indexation (Request indexing): opens the page in Search Console, where you click "Request indexing". Google doesn't allow this from another tool.
