Pages not analyzed

This report shows a list of all the pages that the Seobility bot found on your website but did not analyze further.

Background: For each page found on your website, Seobility checks if it is suitable for a technical and content analysis. In the following cases, a page is classified as "unanalyzable" and sorted out:

• The page redirects to another page.
• The page contains a canonical link pointing to another page.
• The page contains a noindex directive that prevents search engines from indexing the page.
• The page has a technical error (e.g. 404 error, timeout, etc.).

As a result, the pages in this list are not eligible to be indexed by search engines.

Why a high number of unanalyzable pages can be problematic:

If the percentage of such pages on your site is higher than the percentage of relevant/crawlable pages, you will see the following error message in your Website Audit Overview:

Only X pages that can be indexed by search engines were found.

If you get this message, you should check which pages are classified as "unanalyzable" and see if you can reduce their number.

A high number of unanalyzable pages can be problematic for a number of reasons. Firstly, they take up the crawling resources of search engines, even though they do not contain any content that would be suitable for search results. In the worst case (for very large sites), this can cause the crawling process to stop early, leaving important content undiscovered. You can read more about this in our article on crawl budget optimization.

In addition, a high number of unanalyzable pages is often connected to issues such as URL parameters. These can have a negative impact on server response time.

Therefore, it's a good idea to take a look at this list to understand why these pages are not being indexed and whether you need to take any action.

Here's how to deal with different types of unanalyzable pages:

• Internal HTTP redirects: URLs that redirect to another page should not have any internal links pointing to them. If you do link to redirecting URLs, you should change these links so that they point directly to the destination URL of the redirect. For more information, see the "Redirects" report.
• Internal canonical link: A high number of pages pointing to another URL via a canonical link can be caused by URL parameters, for example. In this case, you should exclude these parameters from crawling using a robots.txt file.
• Noindex: Noindex pages are often unavoidable. However, if you have a lot of noindex pages, you should check whether it's really necessary that you link to them on your website or whether you can set the links to "nofollow". Depending on the situation, excluding them via your robots.txt can also make sense.
• Technical problems (e.g. bad status code, request failed, etc.): You should always fix technical errors. See the "Pages with technical problems" report for more information.
