Reply To: Anyone else getting random indexing delays?

Personally, Yeah, same here. Feels like crawl scheduling’s been drunk all week. I’ve seen fresh stuff sit for days, then some random parameter URL or garbage internal link gets sniffed immediately. Usually when I see that kind of nonsense it’s not “Google being smart,” it’s just the system finding whatever’s easiest to reach and not bothering with the stuff we actually care about. I’d be checking logs first, not Search Console fluff. Ifbot hits dropped or Google’s spending more time on old junk than new templates, that usually tells the story faster than the index report does. Also seen this happen when internal linking gets a bit messy and the new pages are too deep / too isolated, even if the site looks fine on the surface. Could just be a temporary crawl queue thing too, but yeah, “random”…
