Is it possible that my wordpress site pages are not indexed by the hosting server?

Is there a relationship between hosting server and index?
 
It could be.. When the bot crawled your website, your server could have been offline. It is more common than you might think.

It means that your server was not available... May be it was overloaded (and not responding), may be the response was so slow that the crawler thought the connection was timed out.. and so on. I am not saying it was the case, but don't rule that out.

Also, crawlers (especially google's crawler) hate slow server AFAIK. So, a fast server is almost always better.

Ok
Thank you bro
 
But my major issue is
main domain pages are not indexed.
sub-domain pages are indexed well....


Is there a possibility of something wrong with my wordpress configuration settings? Please advise if you need to change something in the configure area.
 
If you insert your site in Google Search Console, you can check the indexability + the issues + you can in fact force an index in case it has not been done
 
I already configured google search console.
sitemap
robot.txt
everything clean.
No result :(
 
i have faced an issue regarding Indexing of my site. when I start indexing my site there is a 404 issue. How can I resolve this issue
 
Hello vmaart,

Please check if your website is available to search engine spiders (not blocked).
Go to website admin dashboard (mywordpress-site.com/wp-admin/ default), select Settings from the left menu and click on reading.
Scroll down and check Search Engine Visibility, check if "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" is checked or not, if it is, then unchecks it.

If it is unchecked or you unchecked it, the next step is to submit the URL you want to index (try the website homepage) to google search console.
Go to your google search console, you will see a top bar with a placeholder of (insert any URL in "http://mywordpress-site.com"), insert your home page URL in there. Wait for a few seconds and click in request indexing. Next check Recaptcha codes and you are done!

After this, your website needs to be indexed shortly (1-hour +-). You can check by searching "site:mywordpress-site.com" on google or searching using the naked URL. If it still not indexed, that means that you have a problem with your website ON-page SEO (copied content, manual action, poor content...).
If that's the case, then you need more checks!

I hope that helped you out, sincerely

Search engine visibility always enabled..... mean untick
"Search Engine Visibility Discourage search engines from indexing this site
It is up to search engines to honor this request"

Webmaster console URL inspection is fine page is index eligible.
sitemap submitted....
robot.txt file also well.....

If I do manual URL inspection it can index well..... not issue.
Regular I'm posting lot of post in my wordpress blog.
For previous time all post are indexed with in 3 to 5 minutes.
In this time no one index fast.
I think may be issue in my hosting server side or any other issue happen.
My site have lot of 404....

Well, a lot of 404 pages will surely make some kind of problems. It could be the reason, so the best option is trying to fix them and see if anything changed.
I hope it works
 
What you're saying is that 404 is the problem.

I already tried "Use noindex for the 404 page"
also search engine not read the 404.

I have done this through wordpress plugin but have no response.
 
See your server logs whether google bot hitting your server or not.

My hosting server not have facility view the server log have any other alternate methods? let me know?

"You can not check server log since you are using shared hosting. You need to go with VPS or dedicated server service for getting server logs"
 
Yes,some say if affects hosting server/provider.

Try to check your source code if the header has a noindex value or you enabled the discourge setting in your WordPress.

One of my clients 5 months ago use's a shared/serverless WordPress, had experienced the same as you. What we did is to move from the different hosting providers and it resolve the issue.
