Hi there,
I am trying to investigate why a number of my pages aren’t being indexed. The first potential issue is this line appearing on some of my pages:
<li id=’wp-admin-bar-rank-math-no-index’ class=”mark-page-as”>As NoIndex<li id=’wp-admin-bar-rank-math-no-follow’ class=”mark-page-as”>As NoFollow</a
What is this and could this be affecting the indexing of my page please?
One page I am looking at an example is https://duncanstevens.com/keynote-motivational-speaker-karachi-pakistan
If this is not the reason I am struggling because It is coming back as discovered not indexed on GSC and no problems and the quality is good? I wondered what could be causing this alongside other pages?
Thanks again Duncan

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I checked the shared URL, and it has been marked as indexed. Here is a screenshot for your reference:
Could you please share the URL where you are getting this error, so we can troubleshoot this further?
That being said, if you are getting
Discovered- currently not indexedis because Google has discovered your site, but hasn’t crawled or indexed it yet.Please check in the coverage section of the Google Search Console for any errors, if there are no errors, then please be patient and wait for Google to crawl your website and index it.
Here is an article, that you can refer to:

Hello,
The AsNoIndex refers to the menu item that lets you Noindex a page easily.
Please logout from your admin account and then check the page source. You should not see any noindex tags then.
I checked the page source, the page is correctly set to index:
You can try to submit the URL in the URL Inspection Tool in the Search Console and wait for Google to crawl the URLs.
However, please note that it is completely upto 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 page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.
Please check this website for more details.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
I have already mentioned about the As NoIndex option in my previous reply.
The
As NoIndex,As NoFollowtext that you are seeing in the page source is coming from the Quick Actions Menu:
Please log out from your admin account and then check the page source. You should not see this noindex, nofollow tag then.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
