Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Could you please share the affected URL/s to check and investigate?
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
I noted within the sensitive data. It’s almost the whole site, and I wrote a sample page.
Hello,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I have just checked your URL here https://www.domain.co.il/sink/ and it does not have any redirect trace. You can use a tool such as redirectcheck to make sure that the links do not have a redirect.
Furthermore, your page URL here is already indexed by Google as you can see here: https://i.rankmath.com/lJ3lxt. Google last crawled the page on 27thas well:https://i.rankmath.com/wsIykC.
Thus, am assuming this is not among the affected URLs or Google might not have updated its crawling on GSC. Please visit your GSC and give us another link that is affected by this error: Page with redirect: The URL is a redirect, and therefore was not added to the index .
We are looking forward to helping you again.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming back to me
This is exactly the problem. That all these pages (over 400 pages) do not really cause redirect.
They were sent to an index with a sitemap on the 15th of the month – 13 days ago. By order “site” already more than 10 days ago they are indexed, but everything that came through the site map – in the console in gray with a redirect error. What the crawler indexes – goes in well.
Hello,
Thanks for getting back.
I checked and wasn’t able to see any redirection issues. Please remove all previously submitted sitemaps from your GSC account and resubmit your main sitemap(sitemap_index.xml). Wait for Google to crawl your sitemap again and see if the issue gets resolved or not.
Let us know how it goes. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
OK . When I do, do I need to do something in the rank math plugin as well before I submit a new map?
Thank you
Hello,
Thanks for getting back.
Your sitemap is updated and is validating fine on the XML Validator tool. So you don’t need to do something in Rank Math settings. Just remove the previously submitted sitemaps and resubmit the main sitemap and let us know how it goes.
We really look forward to your update.
Hi again.
I downloaded the sitemap and replaced it with a new one.
I saw that new products that I introduced in the past days – have already been indexed.
But the problem still exists in exactly the same way.
I would appreciate a solution
tnx!
Hello,
Thanks for getting back.
As I can check the three affected URLs that you had shared in the sensitive data section, are crawled and indexed by Google on 29th June. It seems like the issue has been resolved after submitting the sitemap again.
Can you please check your GSC account and let us know if you are still getting errors for any URLs?
We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I checked the console .. the problem exists in the cover regarding the pages.
If possible – I left details so you can see in the console as well. Maybe I’m missing something.
Hello,
I checked the URL, there are no redirection issues with the URL:
I also tried logging in to your Search Console account but it is asking for a verification code.
However, do note that it might take some time for Google to show the issue as fixed in the Search Console as it needs to crawl the URLs to mark them fixed.
As you have recently submitted the updated sitemap, I will suggest you wait for some time and let Google crawl your website.
We look forward to helping you.
Thank you for coming back to me.
As mentioned – the problem started 3 weeks ago with the reference of several categories. The problem affected most of the site’s pages – so I changed the site map after the problematic categories were deleted.
Then, two weeks ago, the pages were indexed but still GSC shows that the pages of almost all the site – are affected by the reference. And it’s going on until now..
Could it still be a matter of time? Even though two weeks have passed since the pages were indexed? Thanks
Hello,
Since your URLs do not appear to have any redirects, and they are already indexed, then this is just a matter of time before Google gets to discover the changes you made on your site.
I do remember you deleted the categories because there were too many redirects on your URLs. This error on GSC seems to be related to this issue which you already fixed. Therefore it means Google has not discovered that you fixed this.
Otherwise, I would recommend that you confirm all the URLs that had this redirects issue to be deleted. Especially the ones that had special characters. You need to confirm if they exist on your site.
If they don’t, then Google will eventually discover this and lift those errors from your GSC.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions for us please do let us know.
Thank you.
