The makes sense to crawl your site for these types of issues in addition to using GSC. GSC Section Index Status The next metric we are going to tackle is Googles Index Status which is supposed to provide you with an accurate number of pages Google has indexed from your site. This section is located at Google Index Index Status. This particular metric can only be tested for internal validity since it is specifically providing us with information about Google itself. There are a couple of ways we could address this.
We could compare the number provided in the number provided in GSC to the number Europe Cell Phone Number List of internal links to the homepage in the internal links section assuming link to homepage from every page on the site We opted for both. The biggest problem with this particular metric is being certain what it is measuring. Because GSC allows you to authorize the http https www and nonwww version of your site independently it can be confusing as to what is included in the Index Status metric. We found that when carefully applied to ensure no crossover of varying types https vs http www vs nonwww the Index Status metric seemed to be quite well correlated with the sitesite.com query in Google especially on smaller sites.
The larger the site the more fluctuation we saw in these numbers but this could be accounted for by approximations performed by the site command. We found the link count method to be difficult to use though. Consider the graphic above. The site in question has pages indexed according to GSC but the home page to that site has internal links. This seems highly unrealistic as we were unable to find a single page much less the majority of pages with or more links back to the home page. However given the consistency with the site command and GSCs Index.
