Seriously, from what I see, My new pages are crawling like molasses and then some junky spun garbage gets indexed in hours. Same old Google nonsense. I’m not even talking about brand new sites either. One of my affiliate pages got stuck for 5 days, then suddenly popped in and dropped 20 spots. Makes zero sense. Anyone else dealing with this or is it just my setup being cursed again?

Yeah, I’m seeing the same kind of nonsense. New stuff feels stuck in limbo forever, then some trash page or old junk gets picked up way faster for no good reason. Google’s been doing that annoying “we know better” thing again. Had one page sit there for days too, then index, then instantly wobble around like it didn’t know what it wanted to be. Pretty much matches what you’re describing. Not sure if it’s just another messy update or if they’re being extra selective with fresh URLs right now. Honestly I’ve stopped expecting anything consistent from indexing lately. Personally,

Honestly, yeah, I’m seeing it too. Feels like the usual Google roulette — legit pages crawl like they’re stuck in traffic, then some trash gets in fast for no reason. If this keeps going, I’d start checking whether the pages are actually getting discovered cleanly or if Google’s just half-ignoring them. But honestly, from the last few weeks, I wouldn’t blame your setup first. To be fair,

Yeah, same garbage here. Clean pages drag forever, then some trash gets in like Google’s bored and picking random crap to reward. I’m not even bothering to assume it’s site-specific first anymore. If you’ve got a decent crawl path and it’s still doing this, it’s probably just Google being weird again. In my opinion, Honestly,

Yeah, same here. It’s been annoyingly inconsistent lately. If it’s happening across a few sites, I’d lean Google being flaky again before blaming the setup first. Still worth checking crawl discovery / sitemap / internal links, but the “junk gets in fast, decent pages sit forever” thing is pretty familiar right now.

Realistically, yeah, I’m seeing the same mess. What’s annoying is it doesn’t even look like a clean “new pages are slow” situation anymore — it’s like Google’s picking random crap to trust first. I’ve had decent WP pages sit there with proper internal links and sitemap entries, then some thin junk page gets crawled and indexed almost immediately. Makes no sense. I’ve checked the usual stuff too: sitemap submission, crawl stats, internal linking, noindex accidents, canonical weirdness. Nothing obvious. One thing I did notice on a couple sites was that pages buried a bit deeper in the structure are taking way longer than they used to, even when the homepage is getting crawled fine. So maybe discovery is part of it, but that still doesn’t explain the garbage pages getting a free pass. Honestly feels like another one of those periods where Google’s just being inconsistent for no good reason. I’m not calling it a site issue first either.

Sure. Honestly, in my opinion, yeah, I’ve been seeing the same mess. Feels like Google’s got a dartboard out again. What’s annoying is it’s not even consistent site to site — one property gets pages crawled and indexed stupid fast, another one with better internal links just sits there like it’s been forgotten. Then some trash page with next to nothing on it gets in right away. Real classy stuff. I don’t know if it’s just another indexing wobble or if they’ve changed how they’re queuing stuff, but it’s definitly not “your setup is cursed” by default. That’s the part that keeps me from blaming the site first every time. Too many people are seeing the same pattern.

Well, yeah, same garbage here. One site gets pages in almost immediately, another one just sits there like it’s waiting for permission from a wizard. And the “good” pages taking a hit after they finally show up is the part that really makes you want to laugh. Google’s been doing that lovely thing where it acts like it’s smart while making no sense at all. Just my experience. Okay then.
-
Yeah, I’m seeing it too. Not enough to pretend it’s some clean “site issue” either — Google’s just doing that random crawl/index shuffle again. The part that gets me is exactly what you said: legit pages sit there, then junk gets picked up fast. That usually screams queue/prioritization weirdness to me, not some magic on-page problem.
-
Personally, Yeah, same here. I’ve got a couple sites where the crawl logs look fine-ish, but indexing is just all over the place — fresh pages sitting, then some random low-value stuff gets shoved in fast. What’s been annoying me is it doesn’t even feel consistent within the same site. One section moves, another just gets ignored for days. So yeah, I’m not buying “it’s your setup” as the default answer on this one. Google’s just being Google again.
-
From what I see, Realistically, yeah, seeing it too. It’s not just “site quality” either, which is the annoying part. I’ve got one client where the thin stuff got crawled and indexed way faster than the actual money pages. Then the decent pages finally show up and just wobble around for a few days like they’re being reprocessed or something. Feels more like Google’s queue is busted than anything we’re doing wrong. And honestly, this isn’t even new-new. It’s just more obvious lately. I’m not rushing to blame the setup when the pattern keeps repeating across different sites.

Honestly, yeah, I’m seeing the same pattern. What’s been annoying me is the gap between crawl and index seems way bigger than it used to be. I’ve had clean pages sit there for days, then some thin junk page or weird variant gets picked up almost immediately. Doesn’t feel like a site issue every time either, more like Google just deciding what it wants to process first for no obvious reason. I’ve checked the usual stuff too — no obvious noindex/canonicals mess, internal links are fine, server logs look normal enough. Still get these random delays. And when it finally does index, sometimes it lands and then gets shoved around a bunch instead of settling. So yeah, not just your cursed setup. Google’s been acting pretty flaky on this again.

Honestly, Honestly, yeah, I’m seeing it too, and it’s not just one site. Feels like Google’s in one of those moods where it’ll drag its feet on anything actually worth indexing, then happily hoover up trash like it’s a priority. I’ve had pages sitting there with obvious internal links, clean crawl, nothing weird in logs, and they still just… wait. Meanwhile some garbage spun page or some near-duplicate nonsense gets in fast and starts bouncing around the SERPs like it’s special. Honestly I’d stop blaming the setup unless something’s clearly broken. This is the same old inconsistent crap again. From my experience, If anything, the bigger tell for me is when the page finally does get in and then immediately shuffles 10-20 spots for no real reason. That usually screams Google-side mess,…

Realistically, yep, same here. The crawl/index split has felt extra stupid lately. What’s annoying is it doesn’t even look like a clean quality signal half the time — just random junk getting fast-tracked while decent pages sit in limbo. I’ve seen it on older sites too, so I’m not buying the “new site problem” excuse.
