braymond64 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The Google Search Console is showing that only two of my pages are being indexed -- 11,400 pages are not. The main reasons are Page with Redirect and Blocked by robots.txt. But in my configuration I have Invision Community Optimized checked for the Crawl Management setting. I'm not sure how to get this working. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Do you have an example of what you're seeing and what you're expecting to have indexed? Keep in mind that not all pages will be indexed, even though they may be available to be indexed. You are indeed using our optimized robots.txt so items which are included in there would be pages which shouldn't be indexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braymond64 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Here's what I am seeing. I inadvertently clicked validate, so it is revalidating even though no changes have been made. Users don't have to be logged in to view topics (only to post to them), so I would expect all topics to be indexed. Also, there are about 50 uploaded files - I think those pages should also be indexed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Silvester Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Pages like that are quite normal, we intentional block search engines from pages with redirects and low-quality content so they don't waste their time trying to index them. Your site has far more than 2 pages indexed, I can see via Google for example, that you have a lot of content indexed going back at least 10 years.

braymond64 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 How do I know how many pages I have on the site? And I'm not sure where all of these redirects are. The topics may have external links, but they shouldn't be redirecting anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braymond64 Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Right. So the Google console report is really inaccurate. Is that normal? Is there any way to tell what pages it considers having redirects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 As its a google item, you would need to ask them that question really. There would be no way to tell that, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
