## Search indexability

Passing looks like: The page can be indexed.

**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.**

1. Open the technical detail to see which condition fails, then fix that one; the individual findings above have the steps.
2. After the fix, request indexing in Google Search Console to speed things up.
