Searchable pages is the report that answers the question clients actually ask: how many of our pages are in Yandex, and why are the rest not? It covers pages included, pages excluded, the reason for each exclusion, and \u2014 unusually \u2014 the source<\/em> through which each page reached the index. History runs from 12 October 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Four views of the same data<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Added and removed<\/strong> \u2014 the ratio of inclusions to exclusions.<\/li>\n
  • Excluded<\/strong> \u2014 exclusion trend over time.<\/li>\n
  • History<\/strong> \u2014 inclusion trend, segmented by site section.<\/li>\n
  • Distribution<\/strong> \u2014 a pie chart of pages in search by section. The total in search can exceed the chart total, because only pages and sections listed on the Site structure page are counted there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Changes over the last three months are listed with the index update date, the URL (green for added, blue for removed) and the reason for removal. Up to 50,000 changes, and up to 50,000 pages in the full list.<\/p>\n

    The discovery source \u2014 a genuinely Yandex feature<\/h2>\n

    For each page, the console records how Yandex learned about it:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Ordinary crawling \u2014 following links or a sitemap.<\/li>\n
    • The Yandex Metrica tag<\/strong> on the site.<\/li>\n
    • The IndexNow<\/strong> protocol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This turns discovery from guesswork into measurement. If pages are entering the index only through Metrica, internal linking and the sitemap are not doing their job; if IndexNow submissions are not appearing as a source, the integration is not working regardless of what it reports at the other end. Source information updates independently of the index status itself.<\/p>\n

      The reassurance worth quoting<\/h2>\n

      Yandex states plainly that the presence and number of excluded pages do not affect the site’s position<\/strong>. Excluded pages are a diagnostic, not a penalty \u2014 which matters, because a large site with faceted navigation will always have thousands of them, and clients read the number as damage.<\/p>\n

      When an excluded page finally disappears<\/h2>\n

      Two conditions must both hold: the page returns 404<\/code> or carries a 301<\/code> redirect, and<\/em> no other resource links to it. That second condition is outside your control, which is why old URLs linger in the list indefinitely.<\/p>\n

      Reading a sudden change<\/h2>\n

      A sharp move in either direction almost always traces to something on the site \u2014 a structural change, a template change, or an edit to robots.txt<\/code> \u2014 rather than to an algorithm update. Check the change date against your own deployment log before looking further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
