Indexation
Crawled, currently not indexed
A Search Console state: Google fetched the URL but decided not to add it to the index.
Definition
Reported in Google Search Console under Page indexing → Excluded. Google fetched the URL but found the content too thin, too duplicative, or too low-quality to index. Common on JS-heavy sites when the crawler-facing HTML is empty or near-empty after JS rendering fails or times out.
