I have got a problem with Google Search Console indexing. When I try to search for site:mywebsite.com I can see in Google results titles and descriptions of a website that doesn't have completely anything common with my website. It refers to a different website.



Website runs on Wordpress. I have checked both .htaccess and all FTP files looking for any redirection but with no results. Everything seems ok..



The only common thing of these websites is IP address of webhosting provider 79.170.251.40



As you can see in the picture below the links refers to my site which is correct. But titles and descriptions come from the other website.

It's very tricky and to be honest I have no idea how to solve this issue. Do anyone has any idea how to fix?


Solution :

I placed that /cenik URL into the Mobile Friendly Testing Tool and it looks like your site returned the home page. Unlike the 404 I see if I directly look at the page.



I checked the cache: for the page and it returns the page from that other site. That indicates that Google decided to canonicalise that page with the one on the other site.



On the Google Search Console do a URL Inspection on that page and share what it returns. Does it indicate the canonicalisation I see?



Click "VIEW CRAWLED PAGE" if it is available and check the "MORE INFO". Does it indicate the returned status code.



Do a Live Test and see if it also looks like the home page with a 200 status code?


If the issue about google-search-console, google-search, search-engine-indexing, google-index is resolved, there’s a good chance that your content will get indexed and you’ll start to show up in Google search results. This means a greater chance to drive organic search traffic to your site.
