My Drupal 8 site shows persistent crawl errors in Google Search Console even though the XML sitemap is current and correctly submitted. I need a clear diagnosis of what is blocking Googlebot and hands-on fixes applied directly in the CMS and, if necessary, at server level. The job starts with a full audit: inspect Search Console reports, review [login to view URL], meta robots output, canonical links, URL aliases, pathauto patterns, and any module or server directive that could be returning 4xx/5xx, soft-404 or blocked-by-robots responses. Cache layers (Drupal, Varnish, CDN) may also need a look to be sure they are not surfacing outdated headers. Once the root causes are isolated, implement the corrective steps—whether that means adjusting Drupal core/config, tweaking Apache / Nginx rules, regenerating the sitemap, or adding proper redirects. Please document every change as you go so I can track what has been modified. Deliverables • Short technical report summarising the problems found and the fixes applied • Updated configuration/ code pushed to the site (via Features, config export, or a patch) • Verification screenshots from Google Search Console showing the errors have cleared or are in “Validated” status Acceptance criteria No remaining crawl errors for the affected URLs in Search Console after re-validation and at least one successful re-crawl demonstrating that formerly excluded pages are now indexed. If you have solved similar Drupal 8 indexing problems before, I would like to see a quick note on your approach when you respond.
