Appending a Hyphen to URL Slugs Bypasses Google's 'Discovered' Queue Lock

While domain authority deficits cause most indexing failures, the Discovered - currently not indexed status can mask an algorithmic queue bug that locks a URL's unique reference ID.

To bypass this stalled lock, append a hyphen or an "s" to the URL slug, advises David Waide.

This minor edit forces the system to generate a new primary key ID in the crawl queue.

Google processes the fresh URL while continuing to ignore the blocked original.

Treating this specific queue bug as a standard authority deficit traps practitioners into building links to a stalled reference number that the crawler outright rejects.
