      Hey everyone So I created a new page on a WordPress website, it was live for a few hours till I changed my mind & switched it back to a draft. Just out of curiosity I did the Site:www.example.com/Example search on Google to see if it had been indexed & apparently it had but when I click on cached to see what time it got indexed at exactly it's showing me an error. So does this mean it is indexed or not?

        Use Google Webmaster Tools to see when it was last crawled. I know that a lot of other people have problems finding the 'cache' link.

        And to be honest, it won't really matter if the site not live any way. New sites don't really rank much till you start populating it with content.

          Can you please provide a link to your website, because otherwise my answer will be just a guess.

          Cheers,

          Russel

              It was last crawled on the 4th of October & im pretty sure that it was live for a few hours on the 7th I think but how did Google even find the page because you can only get to it by clicking or typing the URL in directly, there aren't any links on the site that actually point to that page

              • Is it better to delete web pages that I don't want anymore or should I 301 redirect all of the pages I delete to the homepage or another live page?
