Indexation State describes whether a website or specific pages are included in Google’s search index. A page can be fully indexed, partially indexed, or not indexed at all. Checking indexation helps determine whether search engines can find and display the site in search results.
Deindexation occurs when a website or page is removed from Google’s search index. This can happen because of technical issues, manual penalties, or quality problems. Deindexed pages do not appear in search results.
View definitionPartial Indexation occurs when only some pages from a website are included in Google’s search index. This can indicate technical issues, low-quality content, or crawling problems affecting specific sections of the site.
View definitionNoindex is a directive that tells search engines not to include a page in their search index. It is usually added as a meta tag or HTTP header. Search engines can still crawl the page, but it should not appear in search results. This directive is commonly used for thank-you pages, duplicate pages, and low-value content.
