  • Alternate page with proper canonical tag: This is a variation of a page that correctly points to the main version using a canonical tag. Google understands which version to prioritize.

  • Submitted URL marked 'noindex': You've intentionally marked this page with a noindex tag to prevent it from being included in Google's search index.

  • Duplicate (Submitted URL not selected as canonical): The submitted page is a copy, and Google has chosen a different version as the main one (canonical).

  • Redirect error: There's a problem with the redirect setup for this page. The redirect might be broken or misconfigured.

  • Page indexed without content: This page is in Google's index, but it appears to have no visible or relevant content, possibly due to loading issues or empty page content.
