Good pointers from and about robots/sitemaps, and a fair reminder from that patience sometimes plays a role. ’s question about site age is also relevant. Below is a concise, prioritized checklist of less-obvious causes that commonly explain “only some pages indexed.”

  • Meta/X-Robots and canonical issues: misplaced noindex meta tags or an incorrect link rel="canonical" (CMS bug or template error) will keep pages out of the index even when a sitemap exists. Example canonical markup:

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/this-page" />

  • HTTP status, redirects, and header-based blocking: crawlers need a clean 200 (or proper 3xx) chain. Server headers and X-Robots-Tag can block indexing. Quick header check:

    curl -I https://example.com/some-page

  • Search Console diagnostics (Coverage / URL Inspection): look for reasons under “Excluded” — common labels are “Crawled - currently not indexed,” “Discovered - currently not indexed,” and “Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical.” Each label points to a different fix (wait/improve content, improve discovery/internal links, fix canonicals respectively).

  • Rendering and JS: content loaded only after heavy client-side JS can be invisible to Google’s initial render. Use the URL Inspection live test / rendered HTML to confirm the searchable HTML contains the main content.

  • Hosting, security, and user-agent handling: WAFs, CDNs, or security plugins sometimes block Googlebot IPs or return intermittent 4xx/5xx responses. Crawl logs or server access logs will reveal failed fetches or blocked user agents.

  • Internal linking and orphan pages: pages not linked from the site or excluded by bad canonicals are hard to discover regardless of sitemap presence.

When robots/sitemap basics are already covered (as noted above), the combination of header inspection, a few URL Inspections, and a short crawl-log review usually exposes the root cause. If those checks are clean, a focused audit of canonicalization and rendering is the next practical step.

How long has it been? Certain cases big G takes bit longer to index properties. Maybe wait it out.

Also they index crawl on webmasters can do it but I think you already did that. right?

Hi,

Some common advises,

  1. Create a sitemap file and sumbit it to websmaster tools.
  2. Check for duplicate contant and remove those pages.
  3. Check your robots.txt file and no follow attribute on pages.
  4. Create a HTML sitemap file, and that will help the users to navigate also the search engines will crawl the pages.

Thank you.
