Google’s Search Console page indexing report is missing a large stretch of June 2026 data, and Google’s John Mueller says it likely will not come back. Site owners reported the gap on September 11, noting the data had been visible only hours earlier.
John Mueller, Google’s Search Advocate, replied that the hole traces to a known delay in June when the page indexing report was not updated. “We don’t back-fill indexing data,” Mueller said, adding he would check with the team once they return from holidays to confirm.
This is a separate issue from the short overnight glitch this publication covered on September 10, which mislabeled indexed pages as “Crawled, currently not indexed” before Google called it a brief blip. The June gap is a data-retention problem, not a live indexing error, but the two incidents in one week point to ongoing reliability issues with the reporting layer Search Console runs on.
Teams that rely on the page indexing report for historical trend analysis should export data regularly going forward, since Mueller says Google does not backfill indexing data once a gap occurs.
Search Engine Roundtable (Barry Schwartz) reported this on September 11, 2026.
