      Recently a client of mine noticed an inexplicable jump in crawled pages being reported in Google Search Console.

      We researched the following culprits and found nothing:

      • Rel=canonicals are put in place
      • No SSL/non SSL duplication
      • We used a tool to extrapolate search query page data from Google Search Insights; nothing unusual
      • No dynamic pages being made on the website
      • All necessary landing pages are in the XML sitemap

      Could this be a glitch in GSC?  We are wondering what the heck is going on.

          That's what I thought.  We haven't seen any negative impacts in search volume or rankings from this.  However our client was concerned.
