Random website pages still indexing when coming soon page is active

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the indexing of random pages on your website while the Rank Math SEO coming soon feature is active. It seems like Google is indexing these pages despite the coming soon page being active.

This issue could be due to a few reasons, such as the presence of a noindex tag on the coming soon page or the way the coming soon feature is configured. To resolve this, you can check if the noindex tag is properly set for the coming soon page and ensure that the Rank Math SEO settings are correctly configured to prevent indexing of these pages.

If you have already checked these settings and are still facing issues, please provide more details about your Rank Math SEO settings and the configuration of the coming soon feature so that we can assist you further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we’ll do our best to help you resolve this issue.

Hello,

The domain you have shared is showing suspended. Please refer to the screenshot in the sensitive data section.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

We tried to check your website but it is showing an Account Suspended error. Please check the screenshot in the sensitive data section for your reference.

However, please make sure you’ve set the coming soon pages to noindex: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-noindex-urls/

Once done, please allow Google some time to recrawl your pages and they will be automatically removed from SERPs.

Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
 
Thank you.

Hello,

We’ve checked the domain and it seems that the URLs that were indexed are old ones. Also, Rank Math is not present in the page’s source code.

Please note that it may take some time for Google and search engines to deindex old URLs if they are already showing on the search results pages.

In this case, you can utilize the page removal tool in your Google Search Console account to remove them

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Checking the current coming soon page, it seems that it has its own SEO meta tags so it is possible that Rank Math has no access to that page.

However, when it comes to Google, you also need to wait for Google to update the old coming soon page to the new one on the SERP.

As for your sitemap issue, please follow the steps below:

1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

3. Apply the following filter code to your site.

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

Here’s how you can add filter to your WordPress site:https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Your site is in the coming soon mode, which could be why the subsitemaps are not working. For the issue with the product categories sitemap, please navigate to WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Product Categories > Enable the Robots Meta option > Set it to Index.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,
