An Alternative Way to URL Inspect Your Content on Google
Here's how it works:
- Go into search console
- Find your website
- Click on pages (left hand side)
- Scroll down and find where it says "Crawled Currently Not Indexed", click that
- URL inspect the posts one by one (test live URL first)

Hi Vitaliy,
You briefly covered in the video about "posts getting deindexed" that were earlier indexed for older / developed websites - I see this happening more often these days with my older website wherein my older posts are getting deindexed.
I am getting concerned with this trend....because when an older post that was indexed and ranked....gets deindexed, it looses the previous rank as well with Google - Am I right ?
Also, why is Google is deindexing the posts that were indexed earlier? Is Google saying 'we found your post useful before but not any longer" ?
Your views would be highly appreciated.
Great video we gotten here at wealthy affiliate. Crawled currently indexed means what and how.

Hi Vitaliy,
Thanks for this information, I used it and found that 2 of my sites had an error message I'm not sure how to remedy. I thought that links off to other websites may be the issue with perhaps https:// not present however I've check all of the links and they all have this and are loading for me.
I've attached a screenshot of the error message, can you advise me what to correct to get them to be available to Google?
From your image, I can see you have an issue of excluded-by-noindex-tag
URLs with post names need to be indexed (actual posts)
Others with feed, tag, category, author, page #, etc... Not.
Thanks for your reply Abie, I'm afraid I don't fully understand - is there a lesson on this so that I can spend some time reading it?
Hi Amanda so the URL in question here includes a /feed. This is usually not an indexable category/topic so you don't need to worry about that. Only use this indexing approach for specific/unique URLs in your posts, not categories/feeds.
You may read Vitaliy's response; however, anything that is not %postname% doesn't need to get indexed. I would check the URL endings.
And you're welcome :)
Thank you both @VitaliyG & Abie for your replies - that's terrific! I'll work through this and get it, it's new to me.
You are more than welcome, Amanda! Please keep us posted :)
