On December 1, Google Search Central announced via LinkedIn that the Search Console Index Coverage report would be delayed, leaving many website owners uncertain about their site's "Page indexing" performance. However, there's no need for concern about your actual search presence.
The Page Indexing report is currently experiencing longer-than-usual processing delays, meaning the data you see in your Search Console dashboard may not reflect real-time status. This is purely a reporting issue, not a technical problem affecting your website.
What Remains Unaffected
Most importantly, Google has confirmed that:
- Crawling continues normally – Googlebot is still discovering your content
- Indexing operates as usual – New pages are being added to Google's index
- Rankings are stable – Your search performance remains unchanged
What This Means for You
While you may experience frustration checking your indexing status, your website's visibility in Google Search is unaffected. The delay impacts only the dashboard metrics, not the underlying processes that determine your search presence.
Google Search Central has promised updates once the issue is resolved. Until then, continue your regular SEO activities with confidence that your site's performance remains intact behind the scenes.
