Indexed pages are what search engines keep in their memory banks. Search bots visit your website, read all your content, and store what they find in their giant library system. This works a lot like a librarian who reads every book that comes into the library and puts it on the right shelf.

The process happens without you seeing it. Search bots regularly crawl around the internet looking for new and updated pages. They check your site, read the text, look at your images, and figure out what topics you cover. After they understand your page, they add it to their index - which is basically their organized collection of everything they know about the internet.

Having your pages in a search engine's index matters because only indexed pages show up in search results. If Google hasn't indexed your page, nobody will find it through Google searches. You can check if your pages are indexed by typing "site:yourwebsite.com" into Google. This shows you all the pages from your site that Google knows about and keeps in its index. Most website owners want as many quality pages indexed as possible since each one gives people another chance to find their site.
