My post was finally indexed after 2 weeks!

When I started wrting and publishing post, the longest time for Google to index my post is 1 week. However, after I learned that if you "Fetch" your post in Google search console, the indexing would be faster, from then on whenever I publish a post, I make sure to submit that URL to Google for fetching. As a result of this new knowledge, my posts are being indexed within 24 hours whether it is a product review or an informative article.

2 weeks ago my site for the very first time encountered "Blocked resources" when I checked it in Google search console. Until now the problem still not yet resolved. Still looking for the answers. I already deleted the banners and widgets I suspected are causing the problem but it seems not effective.

When I published my 2nd to the latest post, I was expecting that it would be indexed the next day. Days or even more than a week has passed but still no email from WA that my post is indexed. It was very strange to me considering my previous posts took only 24 hours to be indexed. I blamed this "Blocked resources" in Google search console.

Honestly speaking, I was stressed by this "Blocked resources" . It even stopped me to write my latest post that is why it was published 2 days delayed of my target posting day. Seeking any help from Sitesupport and the community trying to solve my site's issue. SiteSupport has been very kind in helping me. The community was also there to support.

Trying not to give up, I published my latest post even if "Blocked resources" issue is not yet resolved. 24 hours later, I received email from WA that my post was indexed by Google. I was a bit relieved that my site's issue is not the cause why my 2nd to the latest post is not yet indexed. I examined the post why is making it difficult for Google to index.

The examination result is as follows:

It is my first time to use several images for a product review (I usually use one).

It is my first time to use multiple images that I snipped from Amazon dot com(I usually do not do it)

It is my first time to add URL(affiliate links) in all of the images I snipped (I usually use the image with link provided by Amazon dot com)

It is my first time to include more than 2 affiliate links in my article.

Actions Done:

I suspected that affiliate links are causing the delayed indexing by Google.

I assumed that Google doesn't like post with so many affiliate links embedded.

What I did is I deleted some of the images with affiliate links and removed the text with affiliate links leaving only three.

I do not know if this is only a coincidence, but my post was finally indexed a day after implementing above actions. Have you experienced same indexing issues? What is the longest time it took Google to index your post even after "fetching"?
