    Rank Math free

    Hi Team,

    I’m facing an issue where my website pages are not getting indexed on Google. I’ve already checked with Rank Math, Search Console, and other tools — there are no technical errors (robots.txt, sitemap, coverage issues, etc.). Still, my pages remain “Discovered – currently not indexed” or are not showing up in search.

    Can you please check if there’s anything from the Rank Math side that might be affecting indexing, or guide me on what else I should try?

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website pages not getting indexed on Google. Thank you for providing detailed information about the steps you’ve already taken.

    The "Discovered – currently not indexed" status in Google Search Console can occur for several reasons, even if there are no apparent technical errors. Here are some potential causes and solutions you can explore:

    1. Crawl Budget Issues: If your site has many low-quality pages, Google may prioritize crawling those over your valuable content. Ensure that your internal linking structure is strong to help Google discover important pages.

    2. Content Quality: Google may not index pages that it deems to have thin or duplicate content. Make sure your pages provide significant value and are unique.

    3. New Website: If your website is relatively new, it may take some time for Google to index all pages. Be patient, as this is common for new sites.

    4. Check for Penalties: If your site has been penalized by Google, it may not appear in search results. You can check this by searching for your site on Google. If it doesn’t show up, you may need to resolve any issues that led to the penalty.

    5. Robots.txt File: Double-check your robots.txt file to ensure it’s not blocking any important pages from being crawled. You can edit this in Rank Math under WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit robots.txt.
      Edit robots.txt in Rank Math

    6. Instant Indexing: If you are a Rank Math PRO user, consider using the Instant Indexing feature to submit your URLs directly to search engines, which can help speed up the indexing process.

    Hello,

    We’ve checked your website’s sitemap and robots.txt, and they are already validating fine.

    Also, some of your posts and pages are showing on the search results pages using the site: operator.

    Please note that the status “Discovered – currently not indexed” indicates Google has discovered the page, and even wants to crawl the page. But this was expected to cause an overload on the site; hence, Google has rescheduled the crawl.

    As a result, Google may delay this crawl for several days after it has been discovered, and the crawl status will remain empty until then.

    Here’s a link for more information:

    Looking forward to helping you.
