      Hello

      I have a website with more than 350 unique articles, Most of them are crawled by Google without a problem, but I find out certain articles are never indexed by Google.

      I tried to rewrite them, adding fresh images and optimizing them but it gets me nowhere.

      Lately, I rewrite an article of those and tried to (fetch and render) through Google Webmasters, and I found this result, can you tell me if there is anything to do to fix that?

        Have you actually tested this in robots.txt tester in Search Console? This is usually one of the main causes.

        Without being able to actually see the pages themselves, it is a bit awkward, but I would start there.

        Also, are the blocked resources actually on your site or somewhere else?

          Hello Andy and thanks for your reply

          1 - Yes I 've tested it in robots.txt tester and it says "Allowed"

          2 - The blocked resources are on my website, and its all general resources, I see other pages indexed with same resources without a problem, those are images of the website Theme so its not something in particular for this article

            OK so another thing to check, although I suspect these are OK, but the pages aren't orphaned somehow? You can get to them through a logical set of clicks through the site and don't have a noindex anywhere?

            With the image you gave above, it is a bit awkward to diagnose without actually seeing them myself.

            If you want to email me an example, I will gladly take a look for you. info at iqseo.org

              Thanks a lot Andy for your kind response and I will email you indeed.

              Bit I magically noticed after latest Google update a few days ago, some blocked articles shows now on top 3 results right away without even the normal ascending time (I usually see my articles on the second page 2 days after publishing them for targeted keyword and during 2 to 3 weeks they jump to top 3 results but it doesn't happen for some certain blocked article and they show right away on top 3 results now)
