Search indexability
Why it matters. To appear in search, a page must return HTTP 200, carry no noindex directive and be allowed in robots.txt. If any of the three fails, the page is invisible to searchers.
How to fix it.
- Open the technical detail to see which condition fails, then fix that one; the individual findings above have the steps.
- After the fix, request indexing in Google Search Console to speed things up.
