What it usually looks like on a store

Deleted products still in the feed, renamed URLs without redirects, and product pages that time out or return server errors are the usual causes.

What Google says

Google could not access the landing page submitted for desktop, so it may not be accessible to shoppers either. Google disables products with unavailable landing pages until it can reach them. The Crawl error column shows the cause, such as Page not found (404), Too many redirects (more than 2), Could not connect or HTTP 5xx, Hostname not resolvable, or URL protocol problems.

How to fix it

Based on Google's help pages, in plain language:

1. Find the reason in the Crawl error column for the affected products.
2. Make sure the URL works, has no more than 2 redirects, the server is always available, and DNS resolves.
3. Use http:// or https:// and the verified domain; URL-encode symbols.
4. Test with the URL Inspection Tool using the Desktop fetch type.

What to check on your website

These are the checks we run that relate to this issue. A problem in any of them can be enough on its own.

• Pages load for visitors: Your homepage and product pages answer with a working page (no errors, no password page, no login wall).
• Broken links in your menus: Links in your header and footer lead to real pages, not 404 errors.

Requesting a review

After fixing, you can request a website check to speed up reapproval (otherwise an automatic review happens later). Google may take up to 12 hours to review the website and no new request can be submitted during that period. Requesting a check requires a verified and claimed website. Google says errors should disappear within a couple of days after fixing.
