Google Search Console is the most essential tool that you need to explore and work on it when optimizing a website.

There are various of indexes and things you need to check there to ensure that you are on the right way to search engine optimize your website.

There is a well-known URL inspection tool in Google Search Console where you can easily put any URL of your website to check if it’s indexed by Google or not.

Today, I will answer to a visitor’s related question:

I put an image file URL to test if it’s crawled by Google but the results made me skeptical! Whatever change I made, I couldn’t make that URL being indexed by Google.

The answer is very quick and easy to understand.
