What it means

A Search Console status meaning Googlebot crawled the URL but decided not to add it to the index — for now.

Why it matters for indexing

It signals a quality/canonical/duplicate problem; resubmitting alone rarely fixes it.

How to check it

Open the Page indexing report in Search Console and filter for this status.
