Hello,
We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing. The “discovered 0 pages” message in Google Search Console means that Google has not used the sitemap to find any URLs. This could be due to various reasons, and it’s not necessarily a cause for concern.
Google can discover your URLs through other methods such as instant indexing APIs, backlinks, and internal links on your site. Additionally, if you have multiple sitemaps, Google can locate them even if you haven’t added them to the search console.
If your pages are getting indexed at a slow speed, it’s possible that Google is taking some time to process your website and add it to the search index. It’s also worth noting that a slow indexing speed is not uncommon and may not necessarily indicate an issue with your website.
To address this, you can try the following:
- Check the last crawl date on the sitemap in the Google Search Console to ensure that Google has seen the updated sitemap.
- If the last crawl date is not after you’ve published the post, you may need to wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.
- You can also delete the sitemap from the Google Search Console and then add it again by entering the sitemap URL and clicking the SUBMIT button.
Here’s a screenshot of how to remove and resubmit the sitemap in Google Search Console:
We hope these steps help resolve the issue. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team here. We are available 24/7 and will be happy to help you.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding the sitemap issues you’ve encountered in Google Search Console.
We understand that seeing “discovered 0 pages” on your sitemap can be concerning, especially when coupled with the slow indexing speed of your posts.
As RankBot mentioned, the fact that Google Search Console shows “discovered 0 pages” does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your sitemap or website.
Google uses various methods to discover and index pages, including internal links, backlinks, and the use of APIs.
To improve the slow indexing speed of your posts, ensure your website is fast, as Google indexes faster sites more quickly.
Regularly publish high-quality content and use effective internal linking to assist search engines in finding new posts.
Sharing your content on social media can also increase visibility.
Additionally, use Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool to request indexing for new or important pages.
Remember, indexing times can vary, but these steps should help in speeding up the process.
We hope that helps, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
