    Hi Michael, Thanks for your reply. I have added 4 screenshots. The value is fluctuating and yesterday it showed ‘https://smartoptions.io/sitemap_index.xml’ is not a sitemap index. What is doing this we did not remove/change anything?

    Kind regards Ivo

    Hello,

    The number of URLs is likely fluctuating because of the tag URLs which are not completely fetched. Could you please click on the post tag sitemap to view the error details and share a screenshot of the same.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    There are now no errors anymore and almost all the pages are indexed again but it is strange that it just reset right?

    Hello,

    Sometime it may take Google sometime for Google to crawl your sitemap and reflec any changes made. It might be this was the case with your sitemap. Please let us know if the issue happens again, which should not happen assuming you have excluded your sitemap URLs from caching.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.

    We have the sitemap excluded from the caching if I am correct.

    /(.*)sitemap(.*)
    /(.*)sitemap.xsl

    Thanks for your support. I have another support ticket open can you see why it is not being answered?

    Kind regards Ivo

    Hello,

    That should do fine to exclude your sitemap from caching.

    I’ll check to see if there is any other ticket under your account.

    If you need any further assistance in this thread or if you wish to mark it as resolved, please let us know.. Thank you.
