The sluggish indexing of webpages can be caused by many different of factors. However, some of them are notable.
  • Your website has a large number of errors.
  • Your website has an excessive number of URLs.
  • Server is running slowly.
  • It takes a long time for high-resolution images to load.
  • There is a bad and lot of duplicate content on your site.
 
What is a "long" time? 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months?
Is it a brand new site?
 
Same for me too, these days indexing takes more time. Hope it will indexed soon.
 
There was a tweet posted where someone from google admitted it was somewhere between soon, and never that your site would be indexed. lol

However, a site that SHOULD be indexed WILL be, as google is always in the business of adding new and better content and sites to its index, otherwise its search business would die.

So build something worthwhile, and promote it in such a way to get a little attention to begin with, and you will get traffic. I get traffic for new indexed sites that I have never submitted to google console.

why is my website taking too long to get indexed

New or updated content takes up to several weeks for Google to index, but sometimes it can take longer due to either technical issues with your website or because GoogleBot is busy indexing more important sites.
