Google Updates the Search Console Coverage Report with More Specific and Fine-Grained Error Messages

Google has updated the coverage report within Google Search Console.

The change is focused on providing a more accurate state to existing issues, which should help you solve them more easily. The list of changes include:

• Removal of the generic “crawl anomaly” issue type – all crawls errors should now be mapped to an issue with a finer resolution.
• Pages that were submitted but blocked by robots.txt and got indexed are now reported as “indexed but blocked” (warning) instead of “submitted but blocked” (error)
• Addition of a new issue: “indexed without content” (warning)
• Soft 404 reporting is now more accurate
