Why would my total number of indexed pages stop increasing?

[EcommerceSite]

I have an ecommerce marketplace that has new items added daily. In search consoloe my pages have always gone up almost every week. It hasn't increased in 5 weeks. We haven't made any changes to the site and the sitemap looks good. Any ideas on what I should look for?

It's Great that you got the solution. Can you please close this question now, it's still showing as unanswered.

Thanks,

Vijay

Thanks for updating your situation--it's always good to hear how a situation was resolved and it might be useful for someone else in the future.

Nope, first thing I looked at was that.

Was any type of work done on the site the day of the spike?

The last nine days of product are not showing up in Google's index.

Robots has not changed, an no noindex meta tag.

Under crawl stats, Pages Crawled Per Day and Kilobytes Downloaded Per Day jumped around the time this happened. Time spent downloading stayed the same.

A few weeks after the spike in pages crawled and kilobytes downloaded dropped back to the normal range.

Are the new pages you are adding in Google's index? Since you are an ecommerce marketplace maybe Google is dropping old products as it is adding new ones.

Could a robots disallow have been mistakenly added to some pages, blocking Google? Or a noindex meta tag? (If you know of a specific page you'd expect to be indexed that isn't, you can check those.)

Under crawl stats, you can see how many pages are crawled each day. Has that changed? If so, did anything change on your back end the day it changed?
