Hello,
Sorry for the trouble you’re experiencing with your site’s traffic and sitemap submission. I understand how important it is to maintain a consistent flow of organic traffic to your website.
There are several reasons why your site’s traffic might have decreased. It could be due to changes in search engine algorithms, incorrect meta tags, or other factors. I recommend checking out our detailed tutorial on setting up Rank Math properly to ensure that everything is configured correctly: How to Setup Rank Math.
Regarding the sitemap submission issue, the screenshot you’ve shared indicates that the sitemap is not being recognized by Google. This could be due to various reasons such as incorrect sitemap URL submission or plugin conflicts. You can check if you’ve submitted the correct XML sitemap to Google by ensuring that you’ve submitted the sitemap available on your website at `https://i.rankmath.com/n94KyH
If you’re sure you’ve submitted the correct URL but are still facing this error, you can check for a plugin conflict using the Health Check plugin. Additionally, if you’re running W3 Total Cache along with Rank Math on your website, you can create another user agent group and add the âgooglebotâ user agent to it.
If none of these solutions help resolve the issue, you can include the following filter in your themeâs functions.php or rank-math.php file:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
For further assistance with sitemap issues, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team by opening a new ticket here.
We hope this information helps resolve the issues you’re facing. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Why GSC Shows “No Referring Sitemaps Detected”Hello,
Thank you for your query, and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
It seems that youâre currently using the Rank Math PRO plugin, but the account you have used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.
Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com so we can locate your account and verify it?
Regarding the issue, there are a few things you have to keep in mind when using any SEO plugin, not just Rank Math.
1. An SEO plugin alone cannot bring down or bring up the traffic in a day (or even a few days) unless incorrect Meta Tags are used by setting up the plugin improperly. That’s why we have a detailed tutorial on that:
https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-setup/2. All the SEO plugins add Meta tags for the search engines which can be checked by viewing the source of a page. For instance, here:
view-source:https://rankmath.com/
Other popular plugins generate similar tags:

3. Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that.
We have a full guide on that: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/
And if you are using Rank Math PRO, you can even see if the drop in traffic co-relates to an algorithm update. Here’s how:

FINAL STATEMENT
– If your website is doing good on SERP, Rank Math is your best bet to improve the rankings further.
– If your website is not doing good on search engines, Rank Math is the best option to move into.
