Index Coverage Report
In one sentence
The console's breakdown of what is indexed, what is excluded, and why.
Analogy Mental model
A stock report. What is on the shelf, what is in the back room, what is damaged, what has been thrown out.
In practice What you actually do
Read the error group first, because those are pages that should be indexed and are not. Then check that every exclusion was your decision. Then look at the two not-indexed states, which are judgements rather than faults.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
Excluded is not a failure. The search page you deliberately noindexed belongs there. The mistake is assuming the whole bucket is a problem and unblocking pages that were correctly excluded.
