Evaluating the spikes in Indexed vs Not-Indexed

In the wake of this HCU that has pummeled our site, we are checking its overall health metrics. When checking the Page Indexing section of GSC, we noticed a spike in NOT-INDEXED around the time of the HCU.

When we asked our host (Big Scoots) about a similar spike some months back, they said it was nothing to worry about and the result of bots crawling nonsense pages.

Does anyone agree or disagree with that perspective? Should we be concerned about the spike in non-index since the HCU roll out? I can't post a screenshot in this forum but it doubled from 75k to 150k around Sep 6.

Thank you for any wisdom you can share on this topic!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
