Hi @mason5666 ,
Thank you so much for getting in touch.
From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re encountering challenges with search engine crawling and indexing. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Identify Specific Errors: First and foremost, you need to pinpoint the exact issues. The screenshots you’ve shared are from the Overview screen. Check the page indexing report in the Google Search Console. This will give you detailed information on which pages have issues and what those issues are.
Google offers a helpful guide on understanding these errors: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7440203#information-status
- Address the Underlying Causes: Once you’ve identified the specific problems, start by rectifying them. This could mean making content modifications, addressing technical issues, or both. I’d recommend referring to the documentation from Google I shared above.
- Reevaluate Your SEO Strategy: While you’re currently using a different plugin, consider giving All in One SEO a try. We’ve designed AIOSEO to help users optimize their sites for search engines effectively, ensuring optimal crawlability and indexability. Our plugin offers comprehensive features, including ones that help address common indexing challenges.
- To Crawl or Not to Crawl: If you’re undertaking major overhauls on your site, it might be a good idea to temporarily stop search engine crawling. But if you’re making minor tweaks or are confident about the changes, you can continue with the crawling enabled.
Should you decide to use AIOSEO or if you have other questions, we’re here to assist.
