Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with Google indexing your pages. It sounds like you are dealing with a common problem related to trailing slashes in URLs, which can lead to duplicate content issues and affect indexing.
To address this, you can set up redirects from URLs without trailing slashes to those with trailing slashes. This helps maintain a consistent URL structure and reduces the chances of Google treating them as separate pages. Here’s a brief guide on how to redirect to URLs with trailing slashes using Rank Math:
- Go to Rank Math Settings: In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Rank Math SEO > Redirections.
- Add a New Redirection: Click on Add New.
- Set Up the Redirect: Choose the source URL (the one without the trailing slash) and the destination URL (the one with the trailing slash). Make sure to select the appropriate redirection type (301 is recommended for permanent redirects).
- Save Changes: After setting up the redirect, save your changes.
For more detailed instructions, you can refer to our article on How to Redirect to URLs With Trailing Slash.
If you continue to experience issues or if there are specific pages that are not being indexed, it may be beneficial to check your site’s overall quality and internal linking structure, as these factors can also impact indexing. You can use the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console to see the status of your pages and request indexing after making changes.
