Google has added a new report to Google Search Console showing which pages are displayed under HTTPS, as well as the reasons why pages under HTTPS are not displayed.
What does this message look like?
When you open the HTTPS engineer data report, viewers will see the number of non-HTTPS URLs and the number of HTTPS URLs , with non-HTTPS URLs highlighted in red and HTTPS URLs highlighted in green . Google also shows the issue of why pages are not serving over HTTPS , including these errors, among others:
- HTTPS has an invalid certificate
- Sitemap links to HTTP
- HTTP canonicalized
- HTTPS URL is botned
- HTTPS not evaluated
- HTTPS has redirects
- Other problems
Possibility to report availability
Google has made the “Report Availability” option available to many websites. This report is only available for properties with an HTTPS URL prefix and for domain properties.

Google states that “page experience” is a set of signals that measure how users perceive the experience of one of the most notable features interacting with a website beyond its pure information value, both on desktop and mobile devices.
This feature includes Core Web Vitals , a set of metrics that measure real-world user experience in terms of interactivity, visual page stability, and loading performance, along with signals for mobile friendliness, intrusive interstitials , and
Why are we interested in this service?
We love the new and improved business to consumer reviews reports! And this feature does both. You can see which pages Google is showing under HTTP and which under HTTPS. But you can also easily find out why Google is not showing some pages under HTTPS at all. And you can then easily fix these problems.
