Table Of Content
It might just be a glitch in the reporting causing your mobile-friendly site to be crawled by the desktop crawler. Don’t fret!
Google finished shifting sites to mobile-first indexing. However, a few mobile-friendly sites noticed that they were wrongly reported as being crawled using desktop indexing.
The Google Search Console’s reporting appears to have a bug, causing some sites to display incorrect mobile indexing status.
Google’s Stance On Wrong Indexing
Here Is What John Mueller Has Tweeted –
“ It looks like we’re also showing the wrong mobile indexing status for some sites in Search Console, which is a reporting issue on our side (and also not related to mobile-friendliness). I’m happy to check, but I assume your site is already in mobile-first indexing.”
How Can You Check This?
To check your indexing status, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Google Search console.
2. On the left sidebar, click on settings.
3. Now, check ‘Indexing Crawler’ under the About section.
