How to Inspect a URL in Google Search Console
Recently as I inspected the URLs of my blog in Google Search Console, I found by clicking 'Coverage' at the GSC side menu. There are 1 error, 209 valid URLs, and 286 excluded URLs as follows:

Details Status Type Validation Trend Pages

Details
| Status | Type | Validation | Trend | Pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
I need to fix all excluded URLs for traffic improvement. Then submit them with the URL inspection tool to be indexed. The first thing is to revamp these posts and request them to be indexed by GSC. There is a daily limit for URL indexing requests. The system will tell you as you exceed the daily limit. Meanwhile, I am waiting, and hopefully, some revamped posts will be indexed soon. This will definitely improve the traffic to my blog.
