Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Upon checking your homepage URL, we can’t seem to find any issues that will hinder the search engines from indexing it on the SERP.
Also, please check for URLs in your Google Search Console and look for any coverage issues so we can identify why your homepage is not indexed.
We are looking forward to helping you with this one.
Search console has been notifying me of indexing issues. At first it was a 5xx server issue. I noticed on my sitemap that the home page was redirected to an IP address with /work/goaline on the end. I fixed that and just changed it to goalineortho.com. However, GSC is now saying it’s a page with redirect? All of my backlinks to the home page are gone. Could it have something to do with the www that search console has in the url? The www isn’t in the sitemap.
Hello,
Upon further inspection of your website, I noticed that the HTTP variation of your website isn’t redirected to the HTTPS.
Can you please try checking this one with your hosting provider and ensure that all your HTTP variation of your website is properly redirected to HTTPS?
As for your sitemap, it seems that Rank Math plugin is currently deactivated. Can you please confirm? Once you have enabled our plugin and the sitemap module, the sitemap should load on your website.
After that, give Google some time to recrawl your websites and see if this will resolve the issue.
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you for validating my suspicion. I’ve been on the phone with the geniuses at HostGator for weeks trying to get them to fix it and they say it’s fine.
I disconnected RankMath because the sitemap won’t update. The version that it has is outdated and I can’t figure out how to update it.
Hello,
The sitemap is loading fine on the non-www URL:
https://goalineortho.com/sitemap_index.xml
Please follow this guide and redirect to the final variation:

Once done, clear your website cache and check the sitemap.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
