Card class: Non-Hero • Category: Page SEO Performance

​
At a glance

Total Pages Indexed is the number of your URLs that Google has indexed and is eligible to show in organic results for the selected period. Indexed means crawled, processed and stored, the prerequisite for any page to earn an impression or a click. Read this as the size of your sellable shop window in Search: a stable or rising count alongside healthy impressions is normal growth, while a sudden fall is an early de-indexing warning that usually shows up here before clicks visibly drop.

​
What it tracks

The card reports the count of indexed URLs for the property, sourced from Search Console’s index-coverage data (the same data behind the Pages report under Indexing). It counts only pages in the Indexed state, not pages that are Not indexed (excluded by noindex, canonical, crawl errors, redirects, soft 404s or “discovered, currently not indexed”). A gap between the URLs in your sitemap and the indexed count is the headline diagnostic: it tells you how much of your intended catalogue Google is actually willing to serve. Track it next to Indexed Pages and Index Coverage Trend for direction over time, Pages Not Indexed to see what is being excluded and why, and Total Impressions to confirm indexed pages are converting into visibility.

​
Reconciling against the source

Compare against Search Console’s Indexing > Pages report, the green Indexed total, for the same property. Expect a lag: the Pages report updates on Google’s own crawl cadence (often slower than the 2 to 3 day Performance delay), so a freshly published or freshly removed batch of URLs can take days to settle into either the report or this card.
