Check My WebsiteWhat is Index Bloat?
When a large share of a site's indexed pages are thin, outdated, or low-value (tag pages, empty search results, old duplicate content), Google's overall quality assessment of the site can be dragged down, and crawl attention is spent on pages that don't matter instead of the ones that do.
Why Fixing This Helps
- ✓Improve overall site quality signals by trimming low-value indexed pages
- ✓Free up crawl budget for pages that actually matter
- ✓Make search results for your brand cleaner and more relevant

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find bloated index pages?
Compare the number of pages indexed (via Search Console) against the number of genuinely valuable pages on the site - a large gap suggests bloat.
Should I delete or noindex these pages?
Noindex low-value pages that still serve a functional purpose; delete and redirect ones that serve no purpose at all.
