What is URL will be indexed only if certain conditions are met?
This error is an error that appears on Google Search Console and indicates problems with the indexing of certain pages. It indicates that your website does not meet some criteria for indexing. In the rest of the content, I gave information about the possible causes and solutions of the error.
Possible Causes and solutions
- Noindex tag: If a noindex tag is placed in the source code of the page, it may prevent it from being crawled. I suggest you check it.
- Canonical tag: Your page may be redirected to another page on your website with the rel=“canonical” tag. This may prevent Google from crawling that page.
- Robots.txt File: Check your robots.txt file. If there are codes in this file that prevent the relevant page from being crawled, remove these codes.
- Meta Robot Settings: The settings in the meta robots tag may be preventing the page from being indexed.
- Server Response Codes: Errors on your server such as Page 404 (not found) or 500 (server error) may be preventing the page from being indexed. Please check this.
- Content Quality or Uniqueness Issues: The cause of the error may not be a technical problem with your website. If the quality of your content is low and not unique, in most cases Google will not index these pages. If you are getting this error even though there is no technical error on your site, I recommend updating your content and adding value.
- Sitemap Issues:Check your sitemap on Google Search Console. Check whether the relevant page is on the sitemap and whether it is crawled correctly.
- Google’s Crawl Budget: If you have too many pages on your website, Google may hold some pages for later indexing. This error can also be seen on new websites. For new websites, Google may sometimes hold relevant pages instead of indexing them directly.
