Summary pages show results for all URLs for each site added to the Console. Pages are nicely grouped by errors, warnings or valid statuses. It also provides a reason for that particular status, which is especially useful in the case of a 404 error.<\/a><\/span> <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”23742″ css_animation=”fadeIn” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1610489332031{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” img_hover=”fade-out”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1657573898300{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” font_family=”Open Sans”]Google Search Console<\/em><\/a><\/span> ‘s Index Coverage report<\/em> gets 4 updates so that site owners are better informed about possible indexing problems.
