URL Inspection
Definition
The URL Inspection tool is a feature in Google Search Console that allows you to examine how Google views a specific URL on your website. You can see whether a URL is indexed, any indexing or crawling issues it might have, and view the page as Google sees it. This tool is particularly useful for diagnosing problems with individual pages or when you've made significant changes to a page and want to ensure Google recognizes these changes.
The tool also allows you to request indexing for a specific URL, which can be helpful when you've made important updates to a page or have new content you want Google to crawl and index quickly.
