Some of you have probably already noticed: The function for initiating a reindexing of pages in the Google Search Console has been broken for some time. This is indicated by a corresponding note that can be found on the corresponding page in the Search Console: The function for initiating a reindexing is particularly useful when you have added new pages or made major changes to individual pages. This causes the Googlebot to re-crawl these pages promptly and their latest status is included in the Google index. If you use this function frequently, you will need a little patience at the moment. However, we have discovered a way to speed up the reindexing of pages. This is by updating the XML sitemap and submitting it to Google via the Search Console. In our tests, the updated pages were re-crawled shortly afterwards. It remains to be seen when this useful function will be available again.
