    Hello,

    I have checked those links and it looks like the pages are set as index. Could you please double check the settings in the Rank Math settings? Please head over to WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta select the tag and then set the robots meta to noindex (If it’s not already set to noindex).

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    The setting seems to be looking good although the changes are still not reflecting. Could you please flush your website cache from your caching plugin?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    ok done. cache flushed

    Hello,

    I’ve checked your tag pages, and they are already set to noindex.

    Since those tags were already crawled and indexed by Google, it will take time for Google to remove them. Unfortunately, there is no exact time when will Google recrawl your site to read those tag pages that are already set to noindex.

    In case you wanted them to be removed immediately, you can use the page removal tool in your Google Search Console account. This should take about 24-48 hours to remove the URLs upon submitting.

    Removal

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    Hello,

    It looks like Google has not crawled the URLs after you have set them to noindex:
    tags

    Please wait and let Google crawl the URLs and remove them from the index or you can follow the instructions shared by my colleague above to request the removal of the URLs.

    ​Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
