: Big drop in Google's Index Status For the last half a year the number of indexed pages for our site went ~100M pages down, and it's been on this lower level for quite some time already.

For the last half a year the number of indexed pages for our site went ~100M pages down, and it's been on this lower level for quite some time already. The number of visits, sessions and crawled pages didn't really change since then. After deleting some old parts of robots.txt, the number of blocked pages dropped by 90% and is really low currently. Indexed pages number didn't increase though.

How reliable the Index Status in Google Search Console is? Should this drop alarm us if no other metrics are affected in the same way?

It's very reliable and yes it should alarm you. But, that's not the problem.

Problem is in this 100M part. How's it possible to have 100M URLs? I never encountered on that behaviour. Ebay and Amazon don't have that much URLs combined.

95% I'm sure that you have some viciously handled replicating malware out of hell that generated this amount of everything. And of curiosity, link us that page. :)
