Google does not index elements of a web page individually except it is embedded content material

Google’s John Mueller said again that Google doesn’t index parts of a page – like the header versus the footer versus the main area of ​​content. Google indexes everything and does not index any part or part of it. There is one exception, however, embedded content on the page, such as images, JavaScript embeds, and so on.

Google told us this several times, including in 2019 when we reported on it Google does not index parts of a page independently.

John has made this clear again Twitter “We don’t index pages in parts.” He said that for some, “embedded content such as images can be indexed separately,” but added that Google does not index all images.

Here is this tweet:

We do not index pages in parts. However, embedded content such as images can be indexed separately, and we do not index all images. Maybe you see that?

There are a lot of SEOs who believe that Google will index parts of pages, Google doesn’t.
