Hi Maybelline ,
thanks a lot. After request indexing is done via GSC page shows like you took a screenshot.
This is how it looks when is wrongly Indexed
LINK
To be more accurate see the SEMRUSH report of the impressions gap of the page in SE.
For the pages reported by Semrush, view the page source to confirm you have the SEO title (<title></title>). If you don’t edit the page and ensure the SEO title field is filled out in the Yoast SEO meta box.

When no indexed page has a Meta tittle and url im yoast meta box. This was first thing to check, even test live url in GSC in html version shows tittle.
Seems like request indexing refreshes google index version of the same page.
strange is that google even if meta tittle and description is missing will overwrite it with content out of the page but still doesn’t do it and url… First time I see this. Screenshots above will make the proof.
Hi @drbre
Google typically uses the title and meta description from the metadata for indexing, this is not always the case. The title and meta description you enter in our snippet preview are suggestions for Google. Google’s goal is to represent best and describe each result. This is not due to the plugin not functioning as expected, but rather is due to Google using another value for the title and meta description that it indexes, as its algorithm has concluded that there is a better version to index.

Hi Mushrit,
thank you. I am aware of a fact that google overwrites the tittle and description but showing nothing is a bug of Google or a plugin!?
Hello @drbre,
If you enter the SEO title and meta description in the plugin, you should see the same when you view the page source. Then, the issue is with Google if you don’t see the same in search results.

hi @maybellyne
thanks a lot. Today I red there were many GSForum posts regarding “index issue” but one was directly targeting Google not showing post (impressions drop) at all and after sometime(as i assume when google recrawl the page) page is properly indexed and then again disappears since some error. This problem with not Indexed can easily be error like this.
So people take care of this behavior because can really hurt your website.
YOAST thanks a lot.
