    A few days ago I sent you my sitemaps to check the URLs and you said they are good to go but they are not indexing these pages are discovered by google but indexing is dead slow.
    One more thing many of the pages are made by hackers on our website but now our website is recovered and pages are deleted from the server but after removal, they are also indexing with a 404 error.

    Hello,

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

    For the deleted posts you can add the redirection in Rank Math Redirections and select Maintenance Code 410 in the settings. When you set the URLs to 410, Google knows for sure you removed the URL on purpose.

    Please refer to this article for more information:

    Please note that crawling and indexing of the website depend on the authority and crawl budget of the website.

    It is completely up to Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your posts – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your posts yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.

    Please check this website for more details.

    Hope this helps.

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