I've noticed that Google has been constantly deindexing many sites (either due to a glitch or algorithm changes). Some of my sites that are on first page have suddenly disappeared. When I checked, I've noticed that some websites and even Google properties like blogspot and Google sites were deindexed. The strange thing is that everything seems to be normal when I check URL in GSC.

(ignore the sitemap thing)

But, when it doesn't show the problem until I test live URL.

I've started this thread to warn people as some may ignore it thinking it to be a fall of rankings due to new algorithm update. If you have 0 search impressions all of a sudden, then this could be the reason.

This has been happening to me for the past 2 weeks. Publish a new post, submit via GSC, maybe 2 days later shows as indexed in GSC but doesn't show for site: search.

Before it used to get indexed instantly and would show up with the site:search within minutes.

I did some research and apparently Google aways get indexing issues when there is a big update.
 
i am also having this issue and one of my other site .. my only one post which is totally fine with good amount of content and images and stuff with good onpage and everything is stuck for a week now in Discovered - not indexed yet ( Didn't even got crawled yet) and i submitted few times manually and nothing happening to that post... so i am right now just pausing everything including posting content on my websites to see wtf is wrong with google and what is going to happen with this problem in future. I hope God be with us.
 
The two GSC screenshots you provided are completely normal. "URL is on Google" means the page is already on Google. If you perform a live test it shows "URL is available to Google" it means the page is indexable. But that doesn't mean it is deindexed. If you have changed the page recently you can index it again with this option.

However, if you search for the exact URL and it doesn't show up, that is the real issue here. And this happened to me in March-April when I noticed lots of my pages are not getting indexed even 15 days old posts. Google used to index my pages within a few hours so I didn't bother to check. Even when I tried to submit pages manually, it took 3 days for the pages to get indexed and appear on search.

I never thought of it this way. Thank you for pointing this out as I was facing some issues as well. Let's see if this works for me too.
 
well still indexed, but just got banned on facebook, and ig.
 
Thanks For mention the issue. I will check for sites that handle into GSC.
 
From the last couple of days Google removing new indexing pages. check yours
 
Yup. My new websites with fresh domains won't index at all, if i manually index them they get booted out after about a few hours. My expired domains websites work fine
