Indexed page then "de-indexed" after a few hours in Google's results

    Hello,

    A few days ago I published an article of more than 4,000 words of original HQ content for my new site. On the Google Search Console, I manually requested the indexing of this page. After a few hours the page appeared in Google when I typed my target keyword or when I typed “site:mywebsite:com”.

    The next day I see that my page no longer appears on Google, neither when I type my keyword, nor when I type site:mywebsite.com. I wait 24 hours and ask again for indexing on the Google Search Console. After a few hours my page is back on google. 20 hours later, my page is no longer on google again.

    I don’t understand where the problem comes from…
    It’s not a new site because I owned it before. It was not active for 2 years (I had deleted all its content) and I decided to restart it a few weeks ago. On the Search Console, Google tells me that the Url is well indexed.

    Best regards,
    Have a good day

    Thank you for your quick answer.

    Regarding the Google Search Console, I have no errors.

    I launched the SEO Analyser (this tool is very good btw) for my page and something may have caught my attention: the robots.txt part is correct but I have this message “Your site has a robots.txt file which includes one or more Disallow: directives. Make sure that you only block parts you don’t want to be indexed.”

    Maybe that’s where the trouble comes from?

    Regards,
    Tom
