We looked into the Search Console file, the thresholds there are pretty unsightly. You're either providing a pair of words or a novel there — neither is purposeful & imo it's worth letting sites know about it… or per chance we ought to suitable pick the file, that's an option too.

Functional and actionable flags equivalent to pages with replica or lacking meta description tags will migrate. We also welcome ideas for other stories that would per chance moreover back with having suitable snippets.

So it appears love it would per chance all recede away – is that something you like to maintain or scheme no longer resolve on?
