HTTPS is invalid and might prevent it from being index

Google Search Console now includes an HTTPS report. You can now see not only which pages are not served over HTTPS, but also why they are not.

There is a new section that says "Why pages are not being served over HTTPS" and it explains "a page must be served over HTTPS to be eligible for Good page experience." This shows in the URL inspection tool, which was part of this upgrade.

Here is a screenshot of the new report (source- www.seroundtable.com):

John Mueller from Google did say this morning on?Twitter?that they dug through these reports and will be updating the warnings to make them "less scary." While the errors are correct, he said, the warnings are just an FYI and "not an error" that is causing issues in Google Search, he added.

Here is one of many screenshots of this error:

This does not mean the URL won't be indexed, it means Google has never seen the URL, or has seen the URL but not crawled it yet. Google may also be indexing the HTTP version of that URL instead for the time being.

There are countless tweets and threads with confusion over this specific error. Here are some threads on?Google Webmaster Help,?Black Hat World?and on?Twitter.

So I wouldn't worry too much about this error.

If you see the pages are not being indexed, I doubt it is related to this error - I would suspect it is more of a quality issue.
