Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website’s indexing and the orphan page status. It sounds like there are significant concerns regarding your site’s internal linking structure and overall crawlability.
Understanding Orphan Pages
An orphan page is a page that has no internal links pointing to it, making it difficult for search engines like Google to discover and index it. To resolve this issue, we recommend the following steps:
-
Improve Internal Linking: Ensure that your important pages have internal links from other relevant pages on your site. This will help Google discover these pages more easily.
-
Identify Valuable Content: Make sure that the content on your orphan page is valuable and relevant. If it is, consider linking to it from other pages that discuss similar topics.
-
Check for Crawl Budget Issues: Since you mentioned a significant drop in indexed pages, it could be related to crawl budget issues. Google prioritizes crawling important pages, so having low-quality or duplicate content can affect this.
-
Submit a Sitemap: Ensure that you have submitted a sitemap to Google Search Console. This helps Google find and crawl all the pages on your website more efficiently. Rank Math automatically creates a Sitemap Index for your website, which can be found at https://yourdomainname/sitemap_index.xml.
-
Monitor Google Search Console: Keep an eye on your Google Search Console for any messages or errors that might indicate why your pages are not being indexed.
