Crawled by Google but not indexed
gsc_crawled_not_indexedShort answer
Search Console's page-indexing report lists these URLs as "Crawled – currently not indexed". Google saw the page and chose not to index it. It doesn't say why; check whether the page has an original answer. Google crawled these pages and chose not to index them for now. Google doesn't explain why; don't guess from measures such as word count. Check whether the page really offers an original answer worth searching for.
Why it matters
This state is Google's quality filter in action: the page is technically fine (no noindex, no error, no canonical elsewhere) and still not worth indexing by Google's judgment. On large sites it often covers tag archives, filtered listings and thin variations; on small sites it tends to be pages that duplicate something already indexed, on your site or elsewhere.
How Glimana detects it
Glimana reads the index status of your pages through the Search Console connection and lists up to 500 URLs in the "Crawled – currently not indexed" state. The list refreshes with each import.
How to fix it
There is no mechanical fix; the question is whether the page deserves to be indexed.
- Sort the list by type. Archives, parameters and near-duplicates can usually be noindexed or consolidated; real content pages need a closer look.
- For content pages, compare with what ranks. Search the page's topic; if the indexed results already say what your page says, Google has no reason to add it. Rewrite it to answer something the others do not, or merge it into a stronger page.
- Strengthen the signals. Link to the page from relevant, indexed pages; include it in the sitemap; make sure the title and H1 describe its unique angle.
- Request indexing once after the changes, then wait. Repeated requests do nothing.
Tag and author archives, attachment pages and ?replytocom= URLs are the usual bulk. Noindex them in the SEO plugin (Search Appearance › Taxonomies / Archives) and let the content pages be judged on their own.
Collection-filter URLs (?filter.v.price…, /collections/all/tag) and product variants with their own URLs. Canonicalise filters to the collection and keep variants on one product URL.
Add noindex to faceted navigation and internal search results; consolidate near-duplicate pages with redirects.
How the fix is verified
The task closes when the URL leaves the "Crawled – currently not indexed" state in the next Search Console import, or when it is noindexed/redirected and drops out of the report.
