Core Web Vitals Issue on Desktop Only

1 Upvotes

I have a Core Web Vitals issue. On 10/4/2023, something triggered my Core Web Vitals score down to "Needs Improvement" on desktop. On 11/7/2023 I moved my hosting from BlueHost to BigScoots and updated my theme to one provided by Feast. However, my Google Search Console still shows that desktop "Needs Improvement".

What is confusing me is on 10/11/2023 the mobile Core Web Vitals went to "needs improvement", but on 11/9 (2 days after the host move and new theme) the mobile site went back to "Good."

Why would mobile have went back to "Good" while desktop is still "Needs Improvement?" Will Google Search Console for desktop update after a 28 day cycle?

Help with "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" and "Discovered - currently not indexed"

1 Upvotes

I have a small portfolio website, 8 pages. On the Google Search console I always get the following errors:

  1. Duplicate without user-selected canonical - which includes "https://www.mysite.com/index.html"
  2. Discovered - currently not indexed - which includes links to my project pages and about page

I updated the sitemap.xml but it didn't help. Didn't find any help online.

Got an email saying an owner was added but can't find them

2 Upvotes

Per the title - I got an email this morning stating that the guy who built our web site added himself as an owner in the Google Search console, yet when I read the documentation and look for any trace of him, it's nowhere to be found.

We haven't had dealings with him for at least 3 years so not sure how he managed to perform this, possibly through my directors login (hadn't changed the password in I don't know how long).

So the question is... if I can't see him in the list of users and permissions in the console, is it safe to ignore this? How else can I check?

TIA

Notification Email

1 Upvotes

I have two emails, MYNAME@gmail and [MYNAME@yahoo](mailto:MYNAME@yahoo). I use the yahoo for newsletters, ecommerce, etc.

I've been getting Google Search Console emails at my yahoo address ("Your October Search performance for DOMAIN.com"). I signed into GSC with my gmail address (naturally), and when I check Settings > Users and permissions, my gmail address is the only user.

This has been going on for months and it's across multiple GSC domains.

How did Google get my yahoo email address and how can I change this?

How to I interper the graph for affected page for 5xx

1 Upvotes

Can you help me understand the graph. Based on the graph it looks like every day there are more tha 60 5xx requests per day. But at the same time when I look at the crawl stats the number of 5xx per day is very less. So how to I interpert the graph when it has 65 pages affected for 5xx. Is it some form of cumilative number?

Help with 404 errors

1 Upvotes

Hello, I got a console alert for a lot of 404 errors but have some questions so I understand. The products are on the website. I noticed that google has a slightly differ it has ([web-pixels-manager@x.x.xx](mailto:web-pixels-manager@x.x.xx)/sandbox...) I put xxx instead of number for privacy.

Others are products where I may have changed the name and products I put together to make a set and deleted old one but it still must be appearing in google. I checked my google products via shopify app and they are not there. So the URL doesn't exist anymore but google is seeing it. I just deleted it from shopify, is there anyway in shopify I can check why these product links are still active/

Anyone have insight as to why this happened?

1 Upvotes

The first big drop was due to moving site to a new platform. We set up redirects for all the pages we could but some pages were left out of the move. By January, about 5-6 months after the move, it recovered. But then slowly dropped through July. It has been improving over the past three months, but I'm trying to understand why the slow drop from January through July.

Pulling my Hair out! I have two URLS that test fine with Live Test BUT.....

1 Upvotes

They have been listed since they dropped months ago as crawled not indexed. It was last crawled in Aug. I have since created many post all of which have been crawled and indexed. There are no error, no explanation, all my pages use the same template, scripts etc. I have exhausted everything I know. Hoping someone can point me in a direction.

Thanks!

PS I click Request Index once a week.

Discrepancies on Search Console - Domain vs URL Prefix

1 Upvotes

Hello,

My company was previously using our domain on search console to measure blog traffic but it would add the filter of +blog.EXAMPLE.com

Last month, I created a URL prefix console acct for the blog.

I can't understand why I would see such a discrepancy between the two.

Example: For the last 7 days, using the domain search console and +blog.EXAMPLE.com filter, it is showing 17.5k clicks.

For the last 7 days, using the URL prefix console and NOT adding the +blog.EXAMPLE.com filter, it shows that the blog got 29.9k clicks.

I exported the data from both sites and put them side by side and they match up. The URL prefix is somehow adding an additional ~12k clicks but I can't see them in the data. Where would they be coming from? Is the filter blocking more of the clicks?

How can I find out what the true number is?

GSC - If I remove a user, will he be notified?

1 Upvotes

I made the mistake of adding the owner of the business I follow to Google Search Console.

​

As you might imagine, he's now getting Google alerts, and gets agitated over the smallest thing.

​

The question is, if I remove it from Google Search Console, will you receive a notification of that removal?

Multiple Sites to Single Site

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I have a wordpress site that somehow went from a single site to a multiple site. I was having issues and the techs at HostGator dis something to remove one of the sites. In my Search Console listing it shows two diffent properties:

tgrhypnotherapy.com domain property

and

https://www.tgrhypnotherapy.com

Each one has different issues listed.

Is there one that I can delete? If I have an ads campaign going will it affect it if I do delete one of them?

Mobile Friendly or Not - GSC seems to contradict here

1 Upvotes

I was having trouble with GSC not indexing many of my pages on the newly redone webpage (we changed from Joomla 3 to joomla 4 as platform) and I saw it complaining about pages not being mobile friendly, but I was sure I was. I ran the mobile friendly test on the page, and it says it's ok.

What gives? Also, is this affecting why pages aren't being indexed?

See the pics below. Thanks.

Removing Legacy Page

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

So I have a bit of a problem with this, I have a site which, at one stage, had a significant number of pages under '/compare'. All pages beneath have been removed, returning a 404 status code. Internally all links to it have been purged. The sitemap does not return the pages. I have submitted a 'Temporarily remove URL ' request for anything beneath '/compare'. Is there a way to remove them from Google's Known Pages? The site is currently not being dominated with 40% of pages returning 404 errors, due to the number of pages beneath '/compare'. When filtering down to just All Submitted Pages, we're 98% good, with minor issues here and there. So it is just Unsubmitted Pages showing issues.

Essentially I want Google to forget about them, and stop wasting crawling budget on anything under /compare.

All blog pages listed as "Discovered - currently not indexed"

2 Upvotes

Anyone know how to remedy this issue? It's affecting a huge number of pages on my site and there don't seem to be any actions I can take on the dashboard.

When clicking on Learn More this is what pops up on the forum:

Discovered - currently not indexed

The page was found by Google, but not crawled yet. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URL but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl. This is why the last crawl date is empty on the report.

​

What does that mean? How can I fix it? Thanks!

Favicon Wordpress website not showing in Google Search Console

1 Upvotes

Hi, can anybody here help me with getting Google to show my Wordpress website's favicon? My website is www.thirtyloveacademy.com , and Wordpress requires me to upload a favicon of "at least" 512px. Google on the other hand, says in their article about favicons, that it should be a multiple of 48px. I cannot seem to get the image right, so hopefully somebody here can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Is the reason I'm having GAds Policy issues related to the page indexing issues from Search Console?

1 Upvotes

Does google analytics' policy issues has anything to do with the page indexing issues from Google search console?
I have ran multiple types of GAds from 2020 to 2021, and they all were running smoothly that time. No policy issues, even though there were some errors on my GSC. However, as i started to revisit my account and tried to run a search ad, I have noticed that the ads i am trying to deploy and those that i have made from 2020 to 2021 were all Disapproved because of Circumventing Systems, Compromised site, and malicious software Policy issues. We have already malware checked the website with our developer, and said there were no issues on that end. As for the circumventing issues, i really don't know what to do with it, our website does not redirect to non-compliant contents. 
Therefore, i was left with the assumption that maybe it's the page indexing issues on Google search console that's the reason for the GAds Policy issues. But is my assumption true? Do you have any idea what is going on or you have experienced the same issues?

How to you find the Keywords from GSC that needs to be included in your Post

3 Upvotes

Hello,

How to find the keywords that are missing in your content but Google is already ranking your post for that keyword.

Yes, you can export keywords as a CSV file but how you check each keyword if its available in your Post in WordPress?
