After using Blogger for more than 15 years, I moved away from Blogger. My main issue is that Google Search bot is not indexing Blogger. With 346 posts right now it indexed only 22. It’s close to a year that I added back the current domain for this blog and it’s still not indexed. It used to get indexed a few years ago. I made the blog private for a while and now it’s not indexing citing it will overload the server. The Google Search Console shows Crawled – currently not indexed and Discovered – currently not indexed.

The page was found by Google, but not crawled yet. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URL but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl. This is why the last crawl date is empty on the report.

This means the crawling is going to make Blogger overloaded, so crawl is not performed. So, there is no much point in keep using Blogger. I had sent support requests to sc-tools-support@google.com, but got no response. Asked at Search Console Help Community but it did not help. Bing, DuckDuckGo are indexing posts just fine.

Let’s see how WordPress goes. The reason I choose WordPress was because I need to have the migration done quickly. I tried using Cryogen, Hexo and Jekyll static site generators but all failed to convert the Blogger XML.
