Check to see which response was received by the robot before the site status in search was changed.**   : 1. Go to the [Crawl statistics](https://webmaster.yandex.com.tr/site/indexing/indexing/) page in Yandex Webmaster. 1. In the list of changes, find the URL of the page that changed its position or disappeared from the search. For example: In the example, the `https://example.com/comment/articles/ks/` page changed its status and became unavailable for the robot due to the indexing prohibition. If the page isn't available to the robot, it is excluded from the search. Therefore, the page stops being displayed in search results for queries or the site's position is lowered. The page may become inaccessible to the robot for several reasons: {% list tabs %} - The page is closed from indexing. You can close a page from indexing using one of the methods: - Using the [Disallow](../robot-workings/allow-disallow.md#disallow) directive in the [robots.txt](../controlling-robot/robots-txt.md) file. To remove the ban, make changes to `robots.txt` and check the correctness of the entries in the file using the [Robots.txt analysis](https://webmaster.yandex.com.trsite/tools/robotstxt/) tool. - Using the `noindex` or `none` directive in the `robots` metatag in the source code of the site page or in the `X-Robots-Tag` HTTP header. [Learn more](../controlling-robot/metatags.md#meta-robots). To remove the ban, make changes to the page code or change the HTTP header. - The HTTP response code is other than 200 OK. The HTTP response code can change from 200 OK to 404 or 500, as well as to other codes [4XX](../error-dictionary/http-codes.md), [5XX](../error-dictionary/http-codes.md) or [3XX](../error-dictionary/http-codes.md). {% endlist %} **Step 2. Check what response the robot gets after making changes to the site.**   : 1. In Yandex Webmaster, go to the [Server response check](https://webmaster.yandex.com.tr/site/tools/server-response/) page. 1. In the field, enter the URL of the page whose response you checked in step 1. {% list tabs radio %} - The server response matches the 200 OK HTTP code. If the server response matches the 200 OK HTTP code, it means that the page will appear in the search results within two weeks. - The server response is other than 200 OK. See the recommendations depending on the HTTP response code, as well as explanations of other messages when checking the server response. After fixing the error [send the page for reindexing](https://webmaster.yandex.com.tr/site/indexing/reindex/). {% cut "Recommendations didn't help" %} {% list tabs radio %} - The reasons for the site's low position remain unclear - The page is accessible to the robot and sent for reindexing, but does not appear in the search
{% endlist %} {% endcut %} {% endlist %} If the page doesn't appear in the search and the site's position continues to go down, check out [other reasons for position changes](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/yandex-indexing/rank.md#site-position) and [excluding pages from search](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/site-indexing/excluded-pages.md).
