Can't add website to a google search

What is the name of the domain?

r4dos.pages.dev

What is the issue you’re encountering

I try to add my website to Google Search, but Google says it encounered some redirect error and my website cannot be indexed because of that. I’m using free pages hosting, just plain pages.dev website, no other domain

I don’t see a redirect yet, except in my Web browser went to the ?page=1, possibly you’ve got some JavaScript doing that or checking something over a ServiceWorker onto /check. Despite quite a lot of requests were made (~600 of them) to download from json file :thinking:

$ curl -I https://r4dos.pages.dev/
HTTP/2 200

Nevertheless, could you please fix your Google Analytics code and put it inside the <head>...</head> part of your Website, then re-deploy your Pages project just in case? :thinking:

Might be better to add Custom domain, nowadays there are cheap ones for $1 or $2, just in case as it’ll be easier for troubleshooting your Security options and other rules, if so with the Security Events and Analytics, what’s causing that error, is there 403 for Googlebot, or maybe something else “in between”.

Happy to see old DOS games still and at least available online. Remember my era of having them on a CD and playing them with the old desktop PC :wink:

I will not buy anything. Also I removed Google analytics, just forgot to do it earlier. For index.html URL Google says about redirect error. But for URL like https://r4dos.pages.dev it just says “page scanned but not indexed”. Also it doesn’t accept my sitemap.xml for some reason. But Yandex is already indexed my site and I even don’t asked it… That check file is just for checking the internet connection and ?page=1 is not a redirect, it just JavaScript

also Google indexed one of the games page, which I gave it manually. But still it doesn’t want to index the min page…
