The study, conducted using data from the IndexCheckr tool, found that 61.94% of the pages in the dataset were never indexed. Among those that did get indexed, 93.2% were processed within six months. However, deindexing remains a significant issue, with 13.7% of indexed pages disappearing from Google’s search index within the first three months, and an overall deindexing rate of 21.29%.
Another key finding is that indexing tools, which are often used to manually request Google to crawl and index pages, have a relatively low success rate of 29.37%. This means that more than 70% of submitted pages still fail to appear in search results, raising concerns about the effectiveness of manual indexing strategies.
Despite these challenges, the research indicates a steady increase in Google’s ability to index web pages efficiently. This suggests that improvements in Google’s algorithms and infrastructure are helping websites gain visibility more effectively, although maintaining indexation remains a challenge that requires ongoing optimization and monitoring.
