Index Tracker Reports: indexing health, lost pages and crawl freshness
Turn the Index Tracker's check history into a health score, an indexed-over-time chart, lost and newly indexed pages, crawl freshness and time to index.
Index Tracker Reports turns the stored history of your Index Tracker into trends: how much of your tracked set Google keeps indexed, which pages left or joined the index, how recently Google crawled them, and how long new pages take to get in. It reads only the checks AutoPSEO has already made, so it costs none of your daily inspection quota. Choose a window of 7 days, 30 days (default) or 90 days at the top.
The headline cards
- Health score: the tracker's 0 to 100 score for the window: 60% index rate, 25% share of URLs crawled in the last 30 days, 15% share without an open warning.
- Index rate: indexed URLs as a share of the URLs with a known status.
- Fresh crawls: the share Google crawled within the last 30 days.
- Open warnings: pages that lost indexing in the window and have not come back, plus pages not crawled for 120 days or more.
- Avg. time to index: for URLs that were first seen not indexed and later became indexed, the average number of days between the two checks (the median is shown too).
Indexed vs not indexed over time
The main chart counts, for every day in the window, how many tracked URLs were indexed, not indexed or unknown. A URL keeps its last known status on days it was not checked, so the line is smooth even though each URL is only inspected every few days on large lists. A sudden step down is the signal to investigate; a slow slide often follows a change in templates, internal links or content quality.
Coverage states and crawl freshness
Coverage states shows the latest coverage state Google reported for each tracked URL, such as "Submitted and indexed" or "Crawled - currently not indexed", so you can see which reason dominates.
Crawl freshness buckets URLs by how long ago Google last crawled them: 0 to 7 days, 8 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 120, more than 120, and never or unknown. Pages Google rarely recrawls are slow to reflect your changes; important pages drifting into the older buckets usually need stronger internal links or a place in an up-to-date sitemap.
Lost indexing and newly indexed
- Lost indexing lists URLs that went from indexed to not indexed inside the window, with the coverage state before and now, and whether the page has since recovered.
- Newly indexed lists URLs that entered the index inside the window and how many days it took.
Both tables export to CSV for a ticket or a client report.
Approaching the stale-crawl threshold
The last table lists tracked URLs Google has not crawled for 90 days or more, oldest first, so you can act before they reach the 120-day mark that raises a Stale crawl warning. Linking to them from frequently crawled pages and keeping their lastmod accurate in your sitemap are the usual remedies; Google's guidance on asking Google to recrawl lists the options and notes that repeated requests do not speed things up.
Things to keep in mind
- The reports only cover tracked URLs and only the checks made so far. A newly added list fills in as the daily scan reaches each URL.
- Google's index changes between checks, so a lost-then-recovered page may have been out for longer or shorter than the gap between two inspections.
- For the whole site's picture, Search Console's own Page indexing report covers every URL Google knows, without per-URL history.
