Instant Indexing Error: 404 Requested Entity Not Found

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Instant Indexing feature and the 404 error. It seems that the URL you are trying to index is not found, which is causing the error message.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check the URL: Ensure that the URL you are trying to submit for indexing is correct and that the page actually exists on your website. If the page has been removed or the URL is incorrect, it will result in a 404 error.

2. Server Configuration: Make sure your web server is configured correctly to return a 404 status code for missing pages. If your server is not set up properly, it might be returning a 200 status code instead of a 404, which can confuse search engines.

   • You may need to contact your web hosting provider to verify this.

3. Use Rank Math’s Instant Indexing Feature: If you haven’t already, enable the Instant Indexing module by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO. After enabling it, try submitting the URL again by hovering over the post on the Posts page and selecting Instant Indexing: Submit Page.
   

4. Check Index Status: You can check your page’s index status within your WordPress dashboard by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Analytics → Index Status to see if there are any issues reported there.
   

If you have followed all these steps and are still encountering issues, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or screenshots, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
