Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
Our plugin doesn’t add the feed pages to the sitemap. If Google has discovered those pages, then they might have done that by some other means. You can add the following rule in your site’s robots.txt file to prevent Google from crawling feed URLs:
Disallow: */feed/
Here is how to edit your site’s robots.txt file with Rank Math: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-with-rank-math/
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
