Google quietly dropped 2 of my indexed blog pages this week, no reason given
by•
Two of my blog posts flipped from "Submitted and indexed" to "Crawled, currently not indexed" this week. No edits, no redirects, nothing changed on my end.
I went through everything GSC actually exposes: robots meta says index,follow, the canonical points to itself, HTTP status is 200. Technically clean by every check available. Google indexed them once, then quietly pulled them back out, with no error and no explanation anywhere in Search Console.
Has anyone tracked a previously indexed page getting pulled like this down to an actual cause, or is it just an authority or quality signal that never shows up in the tooling?

@abdullah_javaid3 Watched something similar in my own Search Console this month a chunk of pages flipped indexed/not-indexed status in a single day, no changes on my end either. What I noticed: it moved as a batch, not page-by-page, which made me think it's less "Google judged this specific page" and more a periodic re-crawl/re-evaluation sweep that reclassifies a bunch of pages at once based on signals we can't see in GSC (site-wide quality, crawl budget, whatever).
Not a fix, but it might explain why there's no per-page reason in the tooling the decision might not be about the page at all.
Did the pages come back on their own, or did you have to do anything to get them re-crawled?
