    Dear Rank Math Support,

    I’m writing to report an issue with the indexing of my website’s sitemap in Google Search Console. I’m encountering the error “No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘X-Robots-Tag’ http header.”

    I’ve already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

    Checked Rank Math Settings: I went to Rank Math SEO > Sitemap Settings and ensured the option “Exclude sitemap URLs from robots.txt?” is unchecked.
    The issue persists despite these efforts.

    Additional Information:
    I didnot find this options
    Exclude sitemap URLs from robots.txt?
    Ping Search Engines

    Website URL: https://hotelparnilpalace.in/
    WordPress Version: 6.5.2
    Rank Math Version: 1.0.217

    Could you please advise on how to resolve this error and ensure my sitemap is properly indexed by search engines?

    You can reach me by the following email:p***********@g********

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue with your website’s sitemap indexing in Google Search Console. I understand that you are encountering the error “No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘X-Robots-Tag’ http header.”

    To address this problem, please follow these steps:

    1. Check if Sitemap is Accessible: Verify if Google can access your website’s sitemap by visiting your sitemap URL. You can also use a tool like httpstatus.io to check if your sitemap is accessible. If it returns a 404 error, you can refer to our tutorial to fix this.

    2. Check if Sitemap is Cached: Ensure that your sitemap is not being cached, which might prevent recent changes from reflecting in the sitemap. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude your sitemap from caching.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

    Best regards.

    Hello,

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

    That is normal if you’re inspecting your sitemap URL in your Google Search Console. You’ll get the error if you inspect your sitemaps because, by default, sitemaps are set to noindex as they are meant to be crawled and not to be displayed on search results pages.

    You should only submit your sitemap to the sitemap section of your GSC account and shouldn’t use the URL inspection tool for the sitemap URLs.
