New Pages Created Not Appearing In Google SERP Despite Being Indexed

Hello,

I commenced using Rank Math about 1 week ago but have found any new page created is no longer getting indexed in Google SERP.

Prior to using Rank Math (we were using Yoast), when we publish a new page, we’d use the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console and request indexing, and literally always, the site would be indexed and in Google cache within an hour.

However, now, after using Rank Math, we cannot get any new published page to appear at all, even 5-7 days later. They are nowhere to be found.

In the beginning, Google Search Console URL Inspection Tool would not even find our new pages, but after deleting and re-submitting our sitemaps, those pages are now being found at least (in Google Search Console) and showing as submitted and indexed. But nearly a week later, I can’t even find the page on Google using the search site:https://website.com/new-page-we-created/.

What are we doing wrong? Why is it that Google is not showing our new pages in SERP when previously before using Rank Math, they would be visible almost instantly. There’s something causing this in Rank Math as we’ve never experienced this kind of delay before. This issue was immediately noticeable the moment we started using Rank Math.

We have checked robots.txt and all settings, but there doesn’t seem to be anything amiss.

Please help. Hope to hear from you soon.
