Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math for help with your breadcrumbs schema.
I checked your website and found no issues that might negatively affect breadcrumb schema. Could you please share a screenshot of which 9 URLs have been listed by clicking on the details section for breadcrumbs, and specify some of the URLs that are not on the list so we can investigate further.
Looking forward to helping you.
Looks like I had the wrong robots.txt. As a precaution, I would like you to tell me an example of a robots.txt that accepts everything so that I can compare it with what they suggested.
Is it possible that a badly set robots.txt could interfere with breadcrumbs?
Hello,
The purpose of the robots.txt file is to define which bots can crawl your website. As long as Googlebot can crawl your pages, the breadcrumbs schema should be recognized.
I checked your website’s robots.txt configuration and it seems that Google should be able to crawl your site. Please refer to my screenshot here:
Looking forward to helping you on this one.
How to set up robots.txt that accepts everything?
Hello,
You can edit the robots to accept all incoming bots to something like this:
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I found that I could delete the robots.txt I had created because WordPress would have generated one himself. I had created the file because an SEO tool told me it was missing.
How long do you think it will take me to have some changes in the ranking? In the SERP I have duplicate content and 149 results. They should be much less, in reality, less than 50.
Hello,
There is no specific time, crawling and indexing of the website depend on the authority and crawl budget of the website.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
I have less breadcrumbs. The more time passes, the more I lose them.
What breadcrumbs am I missing? I’m not an expert on the subject, but I feel like saying;
– all addresses in the sitemap
– Pages, categories and tags with noindex

Hello,
The image screenshot you shared doesn’t seem to be working. Can you please reupload your screenshot or upload it to this tool https://imgbb.com/
Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that causing a drop in your breadcrumbs.
We have a full guide on that: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/
And with Rank Math PRO, you can even see if the drop in traffic co-relates to an algorithm update. Here’s how: https://rankmath.com/kb/google-algorithm-updates/
However, could you please check the coverage section in your Google Search Console account and see if there are any errors listed?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you.
Google’s scans are excruciatingly slow. It takes months. Even solving the problems takes 3 weeks and he is not done.
Hello,
If you are seeing a drop in valid breadcrumbs/pages and no rise in invalid pages then there is nothing to be worried about.
It is because the sample used for testing becoming smaller for the website.

Hope that helps.
Looking forward to helping you.
This does not justify the loss of more than 90% of the breadcrumbs. I know it would go down, but on average it had to grow and a lot. 4 breadcrumbs with more than 40 urls are few.
Hello,
Since there’s no error or any invalid pages shown in your GSC, then this code is just due to search algorithmic updates from Google as mentioned previously and your rich snippets have been affected by it.
You may give it some weeks or months and see if your stats in GSC will go back to normal. You may come back to us if the issue persists. We are here to help you.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
