Too many pages excluded in Search Console

    Hello,
    I’ve discovered that there are multiple pages in my WooCommerce store unindexed by Search Console. The Search Console itself shows 200 pages that cannot be indexed. I’m sure there are some which shouldn’t be and that’s good, but there are definitely pages which are not indexed for unknown reasons.

    I have not manually set specific pages to be no-index, all settings are set by RankMath.

    Is there a way to specifically see each and every page that is not indexed so that I can see if there’s a pattern? Maybe my Sitemap is not updated or does it do that automatically? If not, how to update it?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Please click the error in your GSC so you can check the affected URLs and know the exact reason why they are excluded.

    Once done, please share the screenshot of them for us to check as well.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hi,
    here’s a screenshot: https://gyazo.com/8ff82cc44859ea722c65ea823b17c464

    I also discovered that you can add multiple Sitemaps to GSC. Had not done that since RankMath has never (I think) said to add multiple sitemaps to GSC. Maybe it didn’t need to be done anyways, but I did add sitemaps for products and other things (on top of the main index one). That could be part of the problem.

    Hello,

    You don’t have to add all the sitemap pages to your GSC. Simply submitting the primary sitemap page (https://domain.com/sitemap_index.xml) should suffice. Google will automatically read the remaining sitemaps.

    As for the indexing issue. Please click on the details of the error so to reveal the affected URL.

    Looking forward to helping you on this one.

    Well, looks like after adding the other sitemaps, there were more links added as “Discovered – currently not indexed”

    What details do you mean? There isn’t much else to look at. Just the links.

    Hello,

    The Discovered – currently not indexed status means that Google knows about these URLs, but they haven’t crawled (and therefore indexed) them yet.

    Here is what Google says about this status:

    Discovered – currently not indexed: The page was found by Google, but not crawled yet. Typically, Google tried to crawl the URL but the site was overloaded; therefore Google had to reschedule the crawl. This is why the last crawl date is empty on the report.

    You need to wait for Google to crawl and index those URLs.

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