Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Could you share some of the excluded URLs (in the Sensitive Data section) so we can check them and try to help you?
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
When did you add all those posts and products? Since if you added all of them just a few days ago, you might need to wait a few days since you don’t have a lot of crawl budget (until the site gets more authority).
With the message in the Search Console, Google is telling you it knows you have those pages and it will crawl them once it “has time” to do it.
Looking forward to help you.

Excluded: The page is not indexed, but we think that was your intention. (For example, you might have deliberately excluded it by a noindex directive, or it might be a duplicate of a canonical page that we’ve already indexed on your site.)
Why I believe it won’t be indexed.
Hello,
There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.
1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
Screenshot:
2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:
3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps:
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,
Could you please try removing your sitemap from GSC. If you have any caching plugin, please exclude your sitemaps from being cached. Resave your permalinks and sitemap settings, then on your GSC, resubmit ONLY you main sitemap and let us know how this goes.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
This is quite frustrating. I have been doing everything as suggested, still same result. Excluded…
I deleted sitemap. I deactivated caching, resaved permalinks. Resubmitted main sitemap and still same issue.
4 pages index… 2 of them aren’t in the sitemap but indexed…
Other 2 is submitted and index.
CLEARLY something is wrong, it’s indexing pages that aren’t part of sitemap. AND the two pages that are indexed are terms and conditions and category/uncategorized

Hello,
Don’t worry, I know it can be frustrating but we are here to help you and we will solve it.
To do that, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Thank you.
Hello,
I have checked all the pages but they seem fine (and I even found some of them on Google). I think it could be just a matter of time but, could you inspect those URLs on Google Search Console and let us know which issue it says so Google excludes them? You can read more about it here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7440203?hl=en
Looking forward to help you.
