Google Discovered not Indexed

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

Discovered – currently not indexed, means that Google is aware of the page’s existence but the pages are yet to be crawled. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URLs but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl.

Please give Google some time to crawl the website and see if the issue gets fixed.

However, please share some of the affected URLs so that we can check the sitemaps and a few more things.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

I checked your website and everything seems fine.

The URLs are set to index and are listed in the sitemaps. I also checked the variations of your website using https://httpstatus.io/ and all the non-preferred variations of the website are redirecting to the preferred variation.

In this case, please clear your website and server’s cache (if any) and give Google some time to crawl the website again and see if the issue gets fixed.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

If you have installed any caching plugin, then you can clear its cache. Also, if any server-side caching is applied then you can clear that as well. You can also get in touch with your web host regarding this. Here’s a guide that you might find useful: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-clear-your-cache-in-wordpress/

One of the best practices to follow here is to ensure that the pages are mobile friendly. However, I tested the pages with Google’s Mobile-Friendly Testing tool and the pages already qualify that metric.

You can always work on further optimizing the contents and adding quality backlinks to the website to increase the website’s authority. But it is important to note that this would not show the effect immediately. Google would see and crawl the pages once it crawls the website again.

So, after you clear the cache, you can continue optimizing the contents and wait for Google to crawl the website again and see if that fixes the issue.
