GSC live test is shwoing no index, but pages are indexabled

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your homepage showing as "no index" in Google Search Console (GSC) despite being indexable. This can sometimes happen due to various reasons, including settings in your website’s SEO plugin, server configurations, or even caching issues.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check Robots.txt: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking the homepage from being indexed. You can check this by visiting `https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-wordfence-warning/.

2. Meta Tags: Verify that there are no noindex meta tags present in the HTML of your homepage. You can do this by viewing the page source in your browser and searching for “.

3. Caching: If you have caching plugins or services (like Cloudflare), clear the cache to ensure that GSC is seeing the most recent version of your homepage.

4. Firewall Settings: Since you mentioned using a Cloudflare firewall, ensure that it is not blocking Googlebot or other search engine crawlers from accessing your homepage.

5. Request Indexing: In GSC, you can try using the "Request Indexing" feature after ensuring that everything is set correctly. This prompts Google to re-crawl your page.

If you’ve gone through these steps and the issue persists, we recommend replying to this ticket with any additional details or specific configurations you have in place. A human agent from our support team will be able to assist you further and look into your site settings more comprehensively.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to resolve it for you soon!

Hello,

From your screencast, Google is still seeing the noindex meta tag in the rendered HTML source code of your homepage.

However, the meta robots of your homepage are already set to index.

In this case, we suggest clearing your website and server’s cache before inspecting the URL in your GSC again.

Looking forward to helping you.
