Need advice on bulk Google index checking for a news portal

Hey everyone, I need some advice based on your personal experience. We launched a new section on our regional news portal with hundreds of articles, but search traffic isn’t growing at all. It turns out that due to a bug in the template, Google simply refused to index a whole batch of new pages, and Search Console just shows a general “Crawled but not indexed” message without any specifics—and with a delay of several days, to boot. Can you advise on how you typically diagnose such mass page drop-offs to quickly filter out working URLs from problematic ones and provide developers with an accurate list for corrections?

Oh, and I almost forgot to ask: are there any checking tools that automatically extract current titles from search results, since the client needs ironclad proof of the pages’ actual status? Thanks in advance for your help—I really appreciate it!

I sympathize—layout issues often disrupt indexing, and troubleshooting this via the standard console is a real pain because it shows an outdated view. In such situations, our technical SEO team usually connects the SpeedyIndex index checker via the REST API or simply downloads a list of links via a Telegram bot. The tool offers 99.9% accuracy because it cross-checks data directly against actual Google search results (using the “site:URL” and “URL” queries) at a rate of nearly 1,000 links per minute, plus it immediately generates a handy Excel report with page titles for reporting purposes. Tip: Use their free trial tokens to quickly run the first batch of problematic URLs through the tool. And what about server logs—did Googlebot even crawl those new articles after they were published?
