Partially indexed pages are pages that appear in our search results with a URL, but no title or description. This may happen for several different reasons.
- You are blocking Googlebot's access to these pages with a robots.txt file but other sites link to these pages. In this case, we will index only the URL, but not the title or contents of the page. If you want these pages indexed, you can use the robots.txt analysis tool in Google Sitemaps to check what URLs your current robots.txt file blocks, as well as test changes to the file to make sure that those changes allow access to the URLs you would like crawled and indexed.
- Googlebot was unable to completely review the contents in a recent crawl. We're always working to increase the number of fully indexed pages in our index. While we can't guarantee that pages in our search results will always be fully indexed, crawler-friendly pages have a greater chance of being fully indexed. Our crawlers are best able to find a site when many other high-quality sites link to it. For more tips on creating a crawler-friendly site, please visit our design and technical guidelines.
