Indexability threshold
The minimum amount of real data a page must carry before it is allowed to exist for search engines.
Updated 2026-07-26
A page with a heading, a template and no records is a thin page. Publishing many of them damages a site's standing with search engines and, more importantly, wastes the reader's time.
The rule applied here is simple: a page is published for indexing only when it has enough underlying records to be worth reading, and pages below that line either are not created or are marked as not for indexing. There is no filler, no placeholder table and no example data.
This is why some combinations of filters return a short explanation instead of an empty table. The explanation is the honest answer; an empty table pretending to be a page is not.
