Index issue help!!

[23cromij]

Hi guys I have over 300 articles on a site, I bought the domain from a Bhw vendor, when I look on GSC there appear to be things blocking my site from indexing. The site has been posting articles for 2 weeks now, has Google simply not picked it up yet or am I right in thinking this report shows issues and if so how do I fix?



Any help is appreciated

This is probably an issue with your site not with the domain

Can you elaborate? I was concerned about the soft 404 which makes me think something is blocking the crawlers

Sure, there can be crawlers being blocked. Have you tested any of the soft 404 with the URL inspection tool?

soft 404 error you can fix it via click the validate button in GSC… this validate button promote recrawling the links.

What's the easiest way to check, Google has some very convoluted options

Just live tested url on GSC

Got URL is not available to Google message 404

What is wrong?

These links are for new wp blog posts I can't understand there must be a hidden block?

I meant submitting the links for indexing, not testing if it's live.
It looks like google didn't crawl your site yet that's why you are getting URL is unknown to google.
Try submitting some links for indexing manually and see if there's any change. (it will take a few days)
