Having problems recovering after changing domain
All logs on the old domain show 301.
GSC also shows pages as indexed on the new domain and on the old as "page with redirect"
My guesses are:
- Probably the cache messed up the redirects on images in the first month (when I haven't checked the logs, my bad) because on the old domain I see more than 500 errors as "Crawled - currently not indexed" and all are images. Shouldn't they be also marked as "Page with redirect"?
If that's the case I really have no idea how to make Google crawl the images more frequently to confirm the redirects.
- The crawling rate is deadly slow on the old domain. Google bearly check 5-10 inner pages and 5-10 images per day.
- Strangely Google keep crawling the category and tags pages on the old domain (I see 20 requests on a single category in a single day) while inner pages are rarely crawled. On the new domain once Googlebot arrives on that category page after being redirect it doesn't do anything. It doesn't crawl any iner links on that particular category page. Could this indicate a problem?
So what do you guys say?

Well technically redirects are handled a bit special. It actually 'follows' the redirect, and often the status is reported on the destination. For images, "Crawled" is kinda the right status. Remember this the status from the 'Web Page Crawler'.
You can't get it consistently report the status of the actual URL.
Remember the crawler for Images is quite separate. There isn't a way to get report of Image URL crawling/indexing as such.
... and as such there is benefit to encouraging the page crawler to do anything with these Image ULRs (its kinda relivent noise) - you could even block them (carefully!) in robots.txt!
Frankly I would say just ignore what going on the old domain, it doesnt really matter. Concentrate on the new domain now.
... there might be some work you can do to more effientily manage crawling on the new domain

What do you say about the fact that Google most of the times (>90%) when visits the old domain crawls the URLs of the category pages and forget about inner pages? Sometimes it crawls one category URL 20 times in a single day although nothing has changed. Why it keep visiting those URLs over and over again? What makes it trigger this behavior? I feel like something is going on.

I also migrated my site from one domain to another. Becuase the domain is new, I think Google isn't trusting it just yet.
Also, Google said it may take some time for all signals created by the old domain to pass onto the new.
I have read countless articles of site migration, and many went through a hard down-turn right after migrating. I don't think it will get any better soon. Might take a year or more to come close to what your previous traffic levels were.
I am sticking with it even though I lost 80% of my traffic and 90% of income.
Good luck!

In your case, how is the crawling on the old domain? Because in mine, 90% of crawls are on the category pages and the rest of inner pages and images. I don't understand why it has this behavior, what it sees on these category pages to keep it crawling like that (sometimes I see 20 requests in a single day on a specific category). I think this is a huge factor that slows down the recovery because Google wastes a lot of time crawling category pages that don't actually change. I'd love to see how the crawling is going on your old domain.
