7 days ago Google Search console started reporting that my collection pages were no longer being indexed by Google. This is a disaster! Most of my search traffic is organic from Google and my collection pages get the most traffic.
It looks like some change on Shopify has cause some ‘noindex’ code to be inserted into collection pages by certain apps. The code was working ok until very recently. Even after commenting out the offending code the pages are still not being re-indexed and are reporting as ‘failed’
I advise everyone to check their Google Search consoles asap and check that none of your collection pages are being de-indexed.
