Webmasters and SEO teams logging into Google Search Console this week are seeing indexing data that is 18 days old. The Page Indexing report is currently delayed by over two weeks, with a last updated timestamp of June 11, 2026. Google has not published a resolution date as of June 29.
The timing is notable. With June wrapping up, many agencies and in-house teams are mid-cycle on monthly client reporting, and the stale data in Search Console's most-used diagnostic report is likely to raise questions before it raises alarms.
What the Page Indexing Report Does
The Page Indexing report shows which pages Google can find and index on a given site, and surfaces any indexing problems Google has encountered during crawling. The report displays a chart of indexed pages alongside non-indexed pages, and lists the specific reasons why individual pages on the site are not being indexed. It is one of the primary tools SEO professionals use to diagnose crawl issues, validate technical fixes, and document site health for clients.
Under normal circumstances, the Page Indexing report shows data that is two to four days old, standard latency that reflects the time required to aggregate and process crawling data across billions of web pages. A gap of 18 days falls well outside that range.
Crawling and Indexing Are Not Affected
The key distinction here is between the reporting layer and Google's actual indexing infrastructure. Google Search Central has confirmed that the platform is experiencing longer-than-usual delays in reporting only, not in crawling, indexing, or ranking activity. The delay impacts visibility of data, not actual search behaviour.
In plain terms: a page that was indexed on June 14 may still be appearing in Google Search results today, even though Search Console shows no record of it being indexed. The report is not the indexing engine; it is a readout of what that engine has already done.
Google has also explicitly stated that the delay is not linked to the June 2026 spam update currently rolling out. Performance reports within Search Console, which had briefly experienced their own backlog, appear to have been resolved. The Page Indexing report remains the outstanding issue.
What Teams Should Do in the Interim
For any team producing monthly reports or troubleshooting active indexing issues, the Page Indexing report is effectively unavailable for data from the past 18 days. The URL Inspection Tool within Search Console often provides fresher information during a reporting disruption. It allows page-by-page verification of index status and can be used to confirm whether a specific URL has been crawled and indexed, independent of the aggregate report.
Although the delay does not affect how a site performs in Google Search, it can disrupt SEO workflows and monitoring routines when indexing data is stale; new indexing issues, updates, or exclusions may not surface immediately, creating temporary blind spots in diagnostics.
For client-facing reporting, the appropriate course is to note the data gap explicitly, documenting that the Page Indexing report last refreshed on June 11, rather than presenting the frozen figures as current. Impressions and click data from the Performance report, which is updating normally, can be used to cross-reference actual search visibility during the affected period.
No Resolution Timeline Has Been Confirmed
Google has not provided an exact resolution timeline. This type of Search Console reporting disruption has precedent: Google has reported issues with Search Console often enough that the situation is not unusual, though the two-week mark makes the current delay significant. A similar Page Indexing report delay in late 2025 ran for nearly a full month before Google resolved it.
Google has confirmed it will notify users once the reporting issue is resolved.
