The domain was registered on September 29. I immediately added ~ 8 pages. The website contains some online tools (password generator, notepad and the like).
And almost immediately these pages were indexed, there were some impressions, but there were no clicks. Then all the pages fell out of the index. Crawled - currently not indexed and Validation Started. Started: 10/10/24 and all the time Pending. The content seems to be of normal quality, well, maybe not much text, but initially there was almost no text at all and the pages were indexed...

I created pages in some social networks, made posts. But the problem is not solved. Has anyone encountered something similar? Have another site (the domain is about 6 months old), and there within a couple of days a new pages are indexed...
The domain has no history at all (checked in "wayback machine"). In Google Search there are no external links to the website.

Hi andris and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Have you created GSC accounts for your sites? If so, what are you seeing there as far as indexing?

Have you run basic CWV testing to optimize your content?

Google used to be pretty fast at picking up new content but their move toward using AI for basic tasks seems to have caused some lag and even "crawled, not indexed" problems that mean it can take longer to get off the ground.

From 10/5/24 until Oct, 29 were indexed ~ 6 pages and on Oct, 29 only index page was indexed. During all that time i added and modified content. What i remember, initially there were only tools without text, but latter i added text related to tools.

CWV not enough data. PageSpeed Insights for mobile Performance 88, others are 100. And Performance problems are because Google JS Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics . And also "Reduce unused JavaScript "

As I mentioned it, in another topic, there is something odd with the indexing since September. I mean, about new pages, or when the URL of the page changed.

It's also possible that Google is reallocating indexing resources to AI computing...

Before anything else, verify that GSC is giving you accurate information. Easiest way is to do an exact-text search for some phrases from your interior pages.

Yes, GSC gives "accurate" information. With site:mydomain dot com see only the index page. If i copy some h2 from my website and search with appending domain name, see nothing. Ok, need to wait and also continue to work with the website (nothing else i can do).

You’e misunderstood. Search for exact text, in quotation marks, and don't include anything about site: (which has been acting iffy for quite a while now). GSC always gives me a long list of “crawled but not indexed”. A particular category of pages (specific to my site) are genuinely not indexed, but the rest will come right up no matter how loudly GSC insists they’re not indexed.

Ah, excuse me. Now copied paragraph paste in search and
No results found for the full paragraph.
The same No results found for "Don’t let invalid emails hinder your communication efforts.".

Ok, will wait. At the moment seems i can do nothing.

If only the main page of your website is indexed in Google, it could be due to several factors like issues with your site's sitemap, robots.txt file blocking crawlers, or a lack of internal links pointing to other pages. It's essential to ensure that your website has clear, accessible navigation, proper meta tags, and no restrictions preventing search engines from crawling deeper pages. Additionally, submitting a sitemap through Google Search Console can help Google discover and index more pages. Regularly checking for crawl errors and improving content can also encourage better indexing

I think same, google just do not care much about indexing websites.
all is focused in AI
