    Hello RankMath Team,

    I am using RankMath in my wordpress installation 5.9.3, it seems the sitemap is working. Here is the URL.
    https://www.leadbycode.com/sitemap_index.xml
    But in the Google Search Console I have insert the sitemap with success, but unfortunately it shows ‘0 found URLs’, the Status is successful.

    That means google accept no URL from my sitemap.

    Please could you help me what is the root-cause to fix this issue.
    Thank you very much.
    Best regards,

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    The Discovered URLs 0 that you see in Google Search Console just means that the URLs in the sitemap were already found by Googlebot by other means, instead of via the sitemap. For example, Googlebot may have found the URLs from internal links or possibly from links on another site.

    Hope this helps.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Before one month I had almost 110 url found in sitemap but since month its been reduced to zero and also my traffic has been reduced drastically

    Hello,

    Please remove the sitemap and submit ?sitemap=1 instead of sitemap_index.xml and see if that helps.

    After submitting the sitemap, you need to wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.

    Regarding the drop in traffic, it is possible that the website is impacted by the Google algorithm update.

    We recommend going through this article which contains information and tips to recover from an algorithm update: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/

    We look forward to helping you.
