Reply To: Weird indexing delays again this week

Yeah, I’m seeing that too. The annoying part is it doesn’t even feel random in a useful way, just random enough to waste your time. I’ve had pages with clean internal links and sitemap entries sit in Discovered for ages while uglier stuff gets picked up first. Logs look basically dead except for the usual homepage/category crawl, then nothing. No obvious render issue on my end either, so I’m leaning more toward crawl priority / discovery path weirdness than actual page problems. What’s been slightly better for me is pushing the page a bit harder off a strong, already-crawled page instead of just letting the sitemap do the work. Not magic, but it seems to help more than waiting around for Google to “notice” it. Still feels like Google’s just pacing itself for no reason half the time.
