I tried your link in Google’s mobile friendly test tool and it complained that it was blocked from accessing the page for some reason. I can access the link just fine, but if Googlebot cannot access it, it explains why it was not indexed.
Maybe using the Fetch as Google tool in Search Console will reveal more detail on the cause for being blocked.
Thanks for the reply bc.
I tried fetch as google tool. Says “not found”
I should add that it’s happened to 13 pages in total. All point to images.
Only thing that looks different is the sizes so I’m currently changing sizes to recommended sizes. Hopefully this is the problem?
I don’t see how sizes would cause googlebot to be blocked. Is there a security plugin in WP or something like modSecurity running on the server? You should try deactivating all plugins and switching to a default twenty* theme, then try Fetch as Google or the mobile friendly tool. If that then works, restore your normal configuration, one module at a time, testing after each. When the not found error recurs, the last activated module is the cause.
Thanks bc I will have a go at that tonight.
One thing to note. When I view an image in media library and go to “view attachment page” the url is different to that when I right click an image / open in new tab from the webpage. Is that normal? Also an image can’t be left clicked on the website. Just right click / open in new window. Is that ok too?
Whether left click does anything depends on how the media library options are chosen when you insert the image. You have the choice of no link, link to image, or link to attachment. None of that directly relates to right click behavior. Assuming there is an image link of some sort, when you right click and choose open in new tab, there are two variations: to open the image’s direct URL or to open the link URL, of which there could be either a direct image link or attachment link, depending on media library choice during insertion.
So yeah, it’s normal. Whether left click behavior is OK depends on what you want it to do, if anything.
