Any idea why this page might give 406 error

Design & UX

Hi, several pages of my new website are not indexed by Google search. It says “Crawled - not indexed”. I asked ChatGPT why Google won’t index this page, for example- https://desididi.bytesveda.com/sharadalaya-indian-classical-bollywood-fusion-dance-classes/

And it said the below. But I can access the page just fine. Can anyone check this URL and help me understand if or why the server would give a 406 error? Thanks!!

There isn’t a single obvious reason I can point to for why that specific URL https://desididi.bytesveda.com/sharadalaya-indian-classical-bollywood-fusion-dance-classes/ isn’t indexed by Google — because when I attempted to fetch the page directly the server returned a “Not Acceptable (406)” error, meaning Google might also have trouble properly retrieving your page content

Thanks,

VB

406 would generally imply the requestor and the server could not find an agreeable match between the request types/languages and the server’s available options. If you can reach the site, and the bots cant, its probable that the server is set to reject specific request headers that the bots tend to use.

I see. Not sure how I can get around that, but will look into it. thanks for your response!

Well my first stop would be to ask your hosting provider why this message is being generated. They would know their hosting configurations.
