1 Configure Technical Signals
Server response returned on initial TCP request.
Controls whether Googlebot network fetch is permitted.

Internal discovery signals and PageRank equity path.
Valid: Indexed and Eligible for Serving
Detailed Google Search Pipeline Analysis
The URL returns HTTP 200 OK, is fully crawlable by Googlebot without robots.txt impediments, allows indexing, and declares a matching self-referential canonical URL. Google will crawl, execute JavaScript rendering in WRS, index the page, and make it eligible to appear in organic search results.
