Thank you for the detail explanation, found some really good technical source. Really supportive. Also, I have a question. Should we hit the 'Validate Fix' button after fixing any issues. As far as I audited the redirects, there's no issues. so I hit the validation fix button, and in a few days notified the validation failed error. But, I didn't find any issues with my redirects and not sure why google says validation failed. May be I'm wrong here. What does actually google expect us to fix in this case? Does google need us to remove the redirect in terms of the original URL (redirecting URL) get indexed? or there are some technical issues of the way we have redirected. How can I receive a successful validation with fixing some issues. Is this possible to receive a successful fix after a validation when the actual redirect is still in place? I think this section for Google list down the URL list that are not able to index due to the redirects, and google is still crawling these urls may be from other sources, or internal links (not in my XML sitemap for sure). in this case should we still hit the validation fix button? I love to find a way to receive the successful fix notification after a validation while the redirects are still in place correctly if it's possible. Appreciate your response. Thanks
NO Need to hit validation button if you are 100% sure the errors are fixed. Google Search Console will update its reports when it no longer encounters the issue/s.
So what to do when my redirect problem is just an s , when it was new it started with http: , later I added as https: Due to this google shows as canonical, I did live testing , it says URL is available to Google …how to fix this? Thank you
I think your setup isn't haven't any problems, if you recently changed the website to have https: Google will pick that up. All you need to do is ensure = 1 the canonical URLs uses the https version, then 2 the website (at server level) redirects http > https 3 and simply ensure that internal links on the entire website is also updated to be using https 4 then it is just matter of ensuring the XML Sitemap contains https version of the URL

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful Christopher. This comment is very helpful because some website owners believe Google Search Console related howtos by RankYa do not provide value, or insights for fixing Page Indexing errors such as page with redirect. So I'm happy to hear that this video was helpful for you, do keep in mind that www.rankya.com website has more tutorials for Search Console. Also, comments provided on my blog will get more detailed priority replies :-)
Noted, I totally understand, accordingly I've created new content covering all page indexing issues here: www.rankya.com/google-search-console/page-indexing/how-to-fix-page-indexing-errors/ Page with redirect simply is: example.com/sampleURL (this is known to Google) but when Google tries to crawl the sampleURL, the website is redirecting Google to another URL, for example: example.com/anotherURL Fixing it can be basic or complex, it will depend on the website setup and the content management system being used. At basic level do this: Ensure that the XML Sitemap you've submitted to Search Console contains the correct URL you want Google to index. And do not waste time looking at *All known pages* instead only focus on "All submitted pages"
You could easily create a robots.txt file to block Google to crawl certain parts of a website (doing so will also remove some unimportant Search Console errors). How do you create 1? Simply use Microsoft Notepad program and name that file robots.txt
Thank you RankYa. Excellent overview of some typical problems and also giving solutions on how to fix. Much appreciated.

Best explanation I come across so far
So, since there's no issue when looking at "All submitted pages" I can leave everything as it is
:-) and you are correct, simply focus on content or other things on your website.
Thank you for the detail, but you didn't mention that word "file" I love it. I am going to the blog now. Thanks again.
Hello, thank you, the "all submitted pages menu" is greyed out. So I can not get to the "submitted pages". It is not clickable
Does your website in *Google Search Console* has XML Sitemap submitted?
I have this problem too
Yes My website has submitted XML sitemap
Thank you for the detail explanation, found some really good technical source. Really supportive.
Also, I have a question. Should we hit the 'Validate Fix' button after fixing any issues.
As far as I audited the redirects, there's no issues. so I hit the validation fix button, and in a few days notified the validation failed error.

I wasted about 20 minutes watching your video but can't find where you fixed anything. Isn't that ridiculous? You didn't fix anything unfortunately
This is completely impossible to follow.
Noted, I totally understand, accordingly I've created new content covering all page indexing issues here:
www.rankya.com/google-search-console/page-indexing/how-to-fix-page-indexing-errors/
Page with redirect simply is:
example.com/sampleURL (this is known to Google) but when Google tries to crawl the sampleURL, the website is redirecting Google to another URL, for example: example.com/anotherURL
Fixing it can be basic or complex, it will depend on the website setup and the content management system being used.
At basic level do this:
Ensure that the XML Sitemap you've submitted to Search Console contains the correct URL you want Google to index. And do not waste time looking at *All known pages* instead only focus on "All submitted pages"
i dont have robots.tex option , am i being dumb?
You could easily create a robots.txt file to block Google to crawl certain parts of a website (doing so will also remove some unimportant Search Console errors). How do you create 1? Simply use Microsoft Notepad program and name that file robots.txt
