The Excluded status in Google Search Console's Pages report means the page is not in Google's index. This is often fine - but you should review the reasons to confirm they are intentional.
Common Excluded Reasons
- noindex tag applied - You explicitly told Google not to index the page. This is intentional for thank-you pages, login pages, etc.
- Page with redirect - This URL redirects to another. If intentional 301 redirect, this is fine.
- Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user - Google picked a different version of the page as the canonical. Review your canonical tags.
- Alternate page with proper canonical tag - This URL is a duplicate and the canonical points to the preferred version. Usually fine.
- Crawled - currently not indexed - Google crawled the page but chose not to index it. Requires content review.
- Discovered - currently not indexed - Google found the URL but has not crawled it yet. May indicate crawl budget issues.
- Blocked by robots.txt - Confirm this is intentional.
- Not found (404) - The page does not exist. If it should exist, fix the server error.
