Site not indexed

Hello,

In my case, for the same Google query I see five results so it seems Google is indexing them slowly. Did you add the sitemap (sitemap_index.xml file since you are using Rank Math) to the Google Search Console? It might speed up the indexing process.

Looking forward to help you.

Hello,

You should avoid adding other sitemaps than sitemap_index.xml since it won’t benefit you.

Rank Math can modify the other sitemaps (like post-sitemap.xml) so maybe in the future they could be not found. When sitemap is too big, Rank Math divides it in smaller sitemaps (like post-sitemap1.xml and so on) so its performance improves. That is why you should add just sitemap_index.xml.

Looking forward to help you.

Hello,

Do you have any Google Search Console error? Do you have pages excluded or crawled but not indexed?

Looking forward to help you.

Hello,

I can suggest that you remove all links that contain /feed on your sitemap by making use of the following code to filter the URLs that are added to the sitemap for indexing:

/**
* Filter URL entry before it gets added to the sitemap.
*
* @param array $url Array of URL parts.
* @param string $type URL type. Can be user, post or term.
* @param object $object Data object for the URL.
*/
add_filter( ‘rank_math/sitemap/entry’, function( $url, $type, $object ){
return $url;
}, 10, 3 );

Keep in mind this function will work only in our sitemaps.

To answer your second question, you can disable the Rank Math sitemap as I show you in the following screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/nTTPwS

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hello,

You have to add that code in your theme’s functions.php file.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

It is always a time-consuming task. You have to give Google some time to index pages on your new domain. They will have to re-crawl ALL your old pages to see the redirects and pass the “juice” to the new domain.
