I started a new website on 17th May. Still, Google is not crawling and indexing my website. Just 2 pages are indexed which are the “About US and Contact Us” page.
The website home page is not indexed even after trying lots of times. Please tell me what is happening. Please see the screenshot.
Sitemap is also not updating automatically in GSC when I add a new page in WordPress.
Please tell me how to fix this issue.

Hello,
Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.
There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.
1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
Screenshot for reference:
2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:
3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps:
Please note that it is completely upto Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.
Please check this website for more details.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
