In the past, we didn&#8217;t show<br \/>\n  index status data for HTTPS websites independently, but rather we included everything in the<br \/>\n  HTTP site&#8217;s report. In the last months, we&#8217;ve heard from you that you&#8217;d like to use Webmaster<br \/>\n  Tools to track your indexed URLs for sections of your website, including the parts that use<br \/>\n  HTTPS.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  We&#8217;ve seen that nearly 10% of all URLs already use a secure connection to transfer data via<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HTTP_Secure\" class=\"external-link\">HTTPS<\/a>, and we hope to see<br \/>\n  more webmasters move their websites from HTTP to HTTPS in the future. We&#8217;re happy to announce a<br \/>\n  refinement in the way your site&#8217;s index status data is displayed in Webmaster Tools: the Index<br \/>\n  Status feature now tracks your site&#8217;s indexed URLs for each protocol (HTTP and HTTPS) as well as<br \/>\n  for verified subdirectories.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  This makes it easy for you to monitor different sections of your site. For example, the following<br \/>\n  URLs each show their own data in Webmaster Tools Index Status report, provided they are verified<br \/>\n  separately:\n<\/p>\n<table>\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"191\"\/>\n<col width=\"205\"\/>\n  <\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>HTTP<\/td>\n<td>HTTPS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>https:\/\/www.example.com\/<\/td>\n<td>https:\/\/www.example.com\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>https:\/\/example.com<\/td>\n<td>https:\/\/example.com<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>https:\/\/www.example.com\/folder\/<\/td>\n<td>https:\/\/www.example.com\/folder\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>https:\/\/example.com\/folder\/<\/td>\n<td>https:\/\/example.com\/folder\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\n  The refined data will be visible for webmasters whose site&#8217;s URLs are on HTTPS or who have<br \/>\n  subdirectories verified, such as <code>https:\/\/example.com\/folder\/<\/code>. Data for<br \/>\n  subdirectories will be included in the higher-level verified sites on the same hostname and<br \/>\n  protocol.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  If you have a website on HTTPS or if some of your content is indexed under different<br \/>\n  subdomains, you will see a change in the corresponding Index Status reports. The screenshots<br \/>\n  below illustrate the changes that you may see on your HTTP and HTTPS sites&#8217; Index Status graphs<br \/>\n  for instance:\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"HTTP site's Index Status showing drop\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-8ba6279f48f8.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"HTTPS site's Index Status showing increase\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-5602ca2ae58d.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p>\n  An &#8220;Update&#8221; annotation has been added to the Index Status graph for March 9th, showing when we<br \/>\n  started collecting this data. This change does not affect the way we index your URLs, nor does<br \/>\n  it have an impact on the overall number of URLs indexed on your domain. It is a change that<br \/>\n  only affects the reporting of data in Webmaster Tools user interface.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In order to see your data correctly, you will need to<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/topic\/4564314\" class=\"external-link\">verify<\/a><br \/>\n  all existing variants of your site (www., non-www., HTTPS, subdirectories, subdomains) in<br \/>\n  Google Webmaster Tools. We recommend that your preferred domains and<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/specify-canonical\/\">canonical URLs<\/a> are<br \/>\n  configured accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Note that if you wish to<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/build-submit-sitemap\/\">submit a Sitemap<\/a>, you will need to do<br \/>\n  so for the preferred variant of your website, using the corresponding URLs.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/robots-txt-intro\/\">Robots.txt<\/a> files are also read separately for<br \/>\n  each protocol and hostname.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  We hope that you&#8217;ll find this update useful, and that it&#8217;ll help you monitor, identify and fix<br \/>\n  indexing problems with your website.
