how to submit sitemap

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and bringing your concern to our attention.

You may only submit the primary sitemap which is sitemap_index.xml and Google will automatically crawl the sub-set sitemaps inside the primary sitemap.

As for the issue you are facing, can you please share your website URL with us so we can further check it on our end?

For initial troubleshooting, please follow these steps:

1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

3. After that, remove all your sitemaps from your GSC and resubmit only the primary sitemap (sitemap_index.xml).

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you with this one.

Hello,

what happen if I submitted all sitemap? It can affect error in indexing my site?
this sitemap lists.

It should also be fine to submit all the sitemaps to your webmaster tool.

In Bing webmaster tools, it also need to submit sitemap_index.xml only? because if i submit only the sitemap_index.xml only 4 discovered links show.

Yes, you can also submit only the primary sitemap file. To ensure all URLs are found by Bing, please make sure that the sitemap fully excluded by your caching plugins or any caching software you have in your server.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

in Links Per Sitemap: do I need to put 200 or 201?

Rank Math handles large quantities of posts/pages and you will have an option to limit the number of posts per SITEMAP file generated.

You can go over 200 as long as it doesn’t slow down when the search engine loads that sitemap.

If you have thousands of posts, let’s say 100,000. You can set the links per sitemap to 1,000, and Rank Math will create 100 subsets of sitemaps and Google will still be able to crawl these sitemaps.

My urls is already indexed by google console but I found this message when I check the url. (Indexed, not submitted in sitemap) I already submitted all the sitemap but why my urls is Indexed, not submitted in sitemap?

Indexed, Not Submitted in Sitemap is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts but not through the sitemap.

It is possible that Google is crawling your website and indexing the posts through the internal links on your website and not through the sitemap, and as a result, the crawl budget for your website is exhausted and Google is not able to discover the URLs through your sitemap.

There is no need to worry about this warning as the posts/pages are getting indexed.

I have question on my bing web master tool, Why my bing webmaster tool did not indexed any url on my site? but they crawled already my site, but 0 Index url

Can you please share the URL so we can further check it from our end?

Looking forward to helping you with this one.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

I’ve checked your site, and your links are already appearing on the Google Search results page. Your sitemap and robots.txt are also working fine.

If a URL is on Google, there is technically no reason for it to not be included in Bing, unless Bing has some reason to not index a page like DMCA, copyright content, nulled content, copied content, etc.

In this case, you may need to contact Bing to know the exact reason as from checking the page’s source code, there are no apparent issues. You can refer to all the Webmaster Guidelines and see if your website is violating any guidelines.

You could also try various site audit tools to check if there is an issue with your website.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.
