This is not an issue.
Its totally normal to have some http indexed pages left. Even more common if the migration is recent. Dont be afraid of this Becky.

Yeap, give it a little time to google re-crawl all the new site. I´d give it nearley a month to consider that google has seen completely the new version of the site, always checking the number of indexed pages in GSC and the resuls appearing for a site: search
Being out of top 100 gives you a clue that you are in the middle of the transition.and for the keyword: _Heavy Duty Dolly; _ I do see your page. Check attached image.
Best luck.

Hi Becky
I just searched in a normal browser so it could be Google skewing the results for you.
For indexed pages

How did you find these http pages?
I did a search in Incognito, but I couldn't see anything myself.
I'll try again, thanks!

Hi
Thanks for this. Yes I've checked in Google Console, I can find the page in indexed pages but the indexed pages are a lot less since migration:
HTTP - indexed 13013, blocked 12,891
HTTPS - indexed - 2814 / blocked robots.txt 5713
Do I just wait?
One keyword example for that page would be #Heavy Duty Dolly' & 'load moving dolly'
Were position 1 now out of top 100.
We're working on page speed/load time for the whole site, but why would it affect that one page so badly?

Hi Becky,
Without knoing those relevant search terms, there's almost no analysis to be done.
I´ve noticed that it took very long time to load, here a GTmetrix report.Remember that migrating to HTTPs makes google to re-crawl all your website's pages and re evaluate all ranking factors.
My advise is to wait a little longer. It might take a few weeks.Also, always monitor the Google Search console profile, there could be some message. Take a look into indexed pages, there could be also that there are less pages indexed now than before migration.
Hope I've helped.
Best luck.

Hi Becky
Load Movers - Pos 3
Wooden dollies - Pos 1Maybe open an incognito browser with history cleared.
I don't see a problem
Regards
Nigel
PS You still have 748 http pages indexed but it's only 10% of the total

How long should it take for indexed pages to update
Google has crawled and indexed my new site, but my old URLS appear in the search results. Is there a typical amount of time that it takes for Google to update the URL's displayed in search results?

Canonical or No-index
Just a quick question really. Say I have a Promotions page where I list all current promotions for a product, and update it regularly to reflect the latest offer codes etc. On top of that I have Offer announcement posts for specific promotions for that product, highlighting very briefly the promotion, but also linking back to the main product promotion page which has a the promotion duplicated. So main page is 1000+ words with half a dozen promotions, the small post might be 200 words, and quickly become irrelevant as it is a limited time news article. Now, I don't want the promotion page indexed (unless it has a larger news story attached to the promotion, but for this purpose presume it is doesn't). Initially the core essence of the post will be duplicated in the main Promotion page, but later as the offer expires it wouldn't be. Therefore would you Rel Canonical or just simply No-index?

Pages are being dropped from index after a few days - AngularJS site serving "_escaped_fragment_"
My URL is: https://plentific.com/ Hi guys, About us: We are running an AngularJS SPA for property search.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | emre.kazan
Being an SPA and an entirely JavaScript application has proven to be an SEO nightmare, as you can imagine.
We are currently implementing the approach and serving an "escaped_fragment" version using PhantomJS.
Unfortunately, pre-rendering of the pages takes some time and even worse, on separate occasions the pre-rendering fails and the page appears to be empty. The problem: When I manually submit pages to Google, using the Fetch as Google tool, they get indexed and actually rank quite well for a few days and after that they just get dropped from the index.
Not getting lower in the rankings but totally dropped.
Even the Google cache returns a 404. The question: 1.) Could this be because of the whole serving an "escaped_fragment" version to the bots? (have in mind it is identical to the user visible one)? or 2.) Could this be because we are using an API to get our results leads to be considered "duplicate content" and that's why? And shouldn't this just result in lowering the SERP position instead of a drop? and 3.) Could this be a technical problem with us serving the content, or just Google does not trust sites served this way? Thank you very much! Pavel Velinov

Thinking about not indexing PDFs on a product page
Our product pages generate a PDF version of the page in a different layout. This is done for 2 reasons, it's been the standard across similar industries and to help customers print them when working with the product. So there is a use when it comes to the customer but search? I've thought about this a lot and my thinking is why index the PDF at all? Only allow the HTML page to be indexed. The PDF files are in a subdomain, so I can easily no index them. The way I see it, I'm reducing duplicate content On the flip side, it is hosted in a subdomain, so the PDF appearing when a HTML page doesn't, is another way of gaining real estate. If it appears with the HTML page, more estate coverage. Anyone else done this? My knowledge tells me this could be a good thing, might even iron out any backlinks from being generated to the PDF and lead to more HTML backlinks Can PDFs solely exist as a form of data accessible once on the page and not relevant to search engines. I find them a bane when they are on a subdomain.

Should pages of old news articles be indexed?
My website published about 3 news articles a day and is set up so that old news articles can be accessed through a "back" button with articles going to page 2 then page 3 then page 4, etc... as new articles push them down. The pages include a link to the article and a short snippet. I was thinking I would want Google to index the first 3 pages of articles, but after that the pages are not worthwhile. Could these pages harm me and should they be noindexed and/or added as a canonical URL to the main news page - or is leaving them as is fine because they are so deep into the site that Google won't see them, but I also won't be penalized for having week content? Thanks for the help!

Not sure why Home page is outranked by less optimized internal pages.
We launched our website just three weeks ago, and one of our primary keyword phrases is "e-business consultants". Here's what I don't get. Our home page is the page most optimized around this search phrase. Using SEOmoz On-Page Optimization tool, the home page scores an "A". And yet it doesn't rank in the top 50 on Google Canada, although two other INTERNAL pages - www.ebusinessconsultants.ca/about/consulting-team/ & /www.ebusinessconsultants.ca/about/consulting-approach/ - rank 5 & 6 on Google Canada, even though they only score a grade "C" for on-page optimization for this keyword phrase. I've always understood that the home page is the most powerful page. Why are these others outranking it? I checked the crawl and Google Webmaster, and there is no obvious problem on the home page. Is this because the site is so new? It goes against all previous experience I've had in similar situation. Any guidance/ insight would be highly appreciated!!
