Indexing stuck: 5/9 pages “available to Google” but still not indexed after 45 days

    Local business site, WordPress (performance plugins on). Sitemap submitted 45 days ago. Out of 9 new service pages, 4 indexed, 5 are not.
    In GSC: URL Inspection → “Live URL is available to Google.” When I hit Request Indexing, it accepts… but days/weeks later there’s no status (not “Discovered,” not “Crawled,” nothing).
    What should I do next?

    The issue is quite complex and primarily stems from WordPress itself, rather than any mistake on your part. I consulted Grok, which provided a detailed and comprehensive explanation of the steps you should take:
