Google indexing pages

Hi @kathtam

This is likely a result of the hosting environment and not the Facebook for WooCommerce or the WooCommerce core plugins. My suggestion would be to post this question with the AllinOneSEO plugin.

Thanks. You mention the hosting environment?

What I have noticed is that pages that were indexed previously still rank but are refreshed sporadically. Whereas it is taking months rather than weeks to get new pages indexed if ever. Posts and top level pages appear to do better. But there is little consistency.

I have one main hosting account with multiple Add On domains as well as three others with one or two. No more than half a dozen.

I tried to ignore the introduction of SSL certificates. That was until I figured out that both Google and the various browsers were colluding to force bloggers and simple DIY sites that don’t transact, to install another layer of costs.

I have free lifetime certificates from Lets Encrypt (I think) on most of the sites. But have bought regular certificates on the one server and it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

However given the vagaries around what Google does and does not do it is difficult to measure. The other suspicion I have is that AllinOne has changed the parameters/settings on their free version.

Hello, here is my response in the contribution to WP members informing.

…indexed previously still rank but are refreshed sporadically. Whereas it is taking months rather than weeks to get new pages indexed if ever

-That seems as the problem with site map, the xml file with a standardized format providing directives for crawling and indexing to web engines. Regarding this there is xml property set with a explicit attribute “changefreq” expecting parameters as always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or never.

Aside of that if your website is, as some websites I have been working out, of the less public interest and additionally on the lower grade of speed performing – there is also probability that SE are “avoiding” such content, you can find more at web page titled “Do Slow Page Load Times Negatively Impact How Google Crawls Your Site”.

This was something that took effect across multiple sites at about the same time. AllinOne flipped from relatively simple to confusing, the browsers started blocking simple websites without SSL certificates and I noticed that Google was only indexing top-tier pages rather than drilling down into child pages.

They are not high traffic sites. They are blogs.

We hit a filter which I suspect was after an ‘update’. I am just not sure which update. The question that is bothering me is the answer you allude to. Google has up until now provided space for small personalised DIY blogs to compete with the high tech industrialised sites.

Google has bought into the SSL scam but I am hoping that it is AllinOne that has triggered the blockage.

Hi @kathtam,

From what you’ve said here, the next best step would be to contact AllinOne support https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/

It looks like they are very active on the forum there and should be able to assist.

Let us know if you have further questions on the WooCommerce side.
