Site not getting indexed

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your site not getting indexed and encountering 403 and 200 error codes when opting for instant indexing.

Based on the information provided, it seems like there might be an issue with the API key location or accessibility. To resolve this, please follow these steps:

1. Check the API key location by clicking on the Check Key button under the API Key location in Rank Math. Ensure that the API key is accessible to search engines as shown in the screenshot below:

2. If the API key file is not opening or redirects to a 404 page, it means the API key was not created automatically. In this case, you need to create a txt file in the root directory of your website manually.

3. Check the IndexNow History tab in Rank Math’s Instant Indexing to review the URLs submitted and their response codes. A "200 – OK" response indicates successful submission for indexing.

If after following these steps you still encounter issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for reaching out, and we appreciate your patience.

Best regards
