Google Fixing Delayed Search Console Indexing, Enhancements & Experience Reports

Google has confirmed it is working on fixing the delayed Google Search Console reports. Many are delayed a couple of weeks when normally those reports are updated daily or within a few days of the current ****. John Mueller from Google said on X, “Yes, we’re aware and working on it (and sometimes things are just a bit slow). I don’t have an ETA at the moment though.”

Here is a random screenshot of a page indexing report in Search Console showing a report being 8 or so days delayed, but some reports are over two weeks delayed:

I see some reports as delayed as September 13th or earlier.

John Mueller added on Mastodon, “It’ll catch up again, sometimes things just get a bit stuck and need nudging to slowly get back on track.”

Here are some tweets/posts that John responded to about this:

Yes, we’re aware and working on it (and sometimes things are just a bit slow). I don’t have an ETA at the moment though.

Sometimes things get a bit slow. Reporting pipelines are unrelated to ranking changes, we have more than one person working on search.

Sadly, it is not that uncommon for these Search Console reports to get stuck but Google has always fixed them eventually.
