A user reports that 9 collection pages show as “Discovered - currently not indexed” in Google Search Console and asks whether to use the Inspect URL and Request Indexing feature.
Expert Response:
This status means Google knows the pages exist but hasn’t crawled them yet
Pages are queued for crawling and will be indexed when Google allocates resources
New websites receive lower crawling priority, and Google crawls cautiously to assess server load capacity
Recommendations:
Limited action needed beyond waiting, as Google has already discovered the pages
Building external links to these pages can accelerate indexing
No major cause for concern; this is normal behavior for newer sites
The discussion appears resolved with the user thanking the respondent for the input.

The “Discovered - currently not indexed” means that google knows that these pages exist but has not had time to crawl them yet.
It’s added them to the list of pages to crawl and will do so when it gets time.
Is this a new website? Because yeh it does take some time to get everything indexed as new websites don’t have a huge priority and even when it does it will be extra carful when crawling so it can learn how much load it can put on the servers etc etc.
To get them index there’s not really much you can do as google has discoverd them and will get around to it. I mean if you linked to those pages from external sites you’ll get index faster but that’s pretty much it.
Here’s our list if it makes you feel better and I don’t worry about it one bit.
