Uncrawlable site due to line of code, remant?

    Hi, I’ve been attempting to figure this out on my own, but I don’t know HTML or any coding.

    On Google Speed Inisights, it shows this link to be uncrawlable:

    <a class="jp-carousel-image-download" target="_blank" style="display: none;">

    I searched that line and saw something about a jetpack issue. I’m wondering if it is a mess left behind when I got rid of some plugin setting.

    On Google Search Console, I’ve got 362 pages not being indexed. Indexing is proving to be a curse to me.

    Could some of you guide me through how to work on this?

    The site is dedicated to guitar and instrument picks, it’s not an adult site, just in case anyone is worried.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    If there is any information I’m lacking in the above post, let me know. I only just found out about dev tools in my browser, don’t yet know how to use them really. But I’m a retired tech so with your help, I hope to solve this…

    Hi @pickfetishx351,

    The link you included in your post is “uncrawlable” because it’s not a link to a different page on your site; it appears to be a download link on the Jetpack Carousel.

    When Google crawls a site, it reads the HTML code for each page and uses it to find links to other pages on the same site.

    Seeing an “uncrawlable link” doesn’t mean the process is broken; it just means that it found a link that doesn’t appear to lead to another page it can crawl.

    Unfortunately, dealing with Google indexing can be an arcane art that I’m not fully qualified to assist with. I do note that their documentation for understanding an indexing report can be found over here:
