Reply To: Weird indexing delays lately?

Yeah, I’ve seen it too. Not even just on fresh stuff — older pages that used to get picked up fine are suddenly acting like they’re on a waiting list for no reason. What’s been annoying me most is the crawl/index split. You’ll see it fetch the page, maybe even multiple times, and then… nothing. Meanwhile some garbage page with half-broken content gets in like it paid for priority. Makes zero sense. I’ve stopped trusting the usual “do X and it’ll index” stuff honestly. Internal linking still helps a bit, sure, but it’s not fixing the random part. Feels more like Google’s just being picky with what it decides is worth showing right now. Not sure if it’s some temporary churn or just the normal mess getting worse again, but yeah, you’re not the only one.
