Sitemap https status noindex

    I have created all my posts and pages through RankMath. Similarly, the sitemap of my website got ready through it. But while submitting sitemap on Google Search Console, it showed error “No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘X-Robots-Tag’ http header”. It is not a bug our there as when I check the https status of url of my sitemap, it actually showed noindex X-robots-tag. it actaully showed the X-robots-tag to noindex. but when I tried to scroll through settings of Rank Math, the Title and Meta were already set to Index. Even the https status of any individual included in the sitemap, has Index X-robots-tags. Only the specific url of the sitemap has noindex through which the pages are not indexing. Reading settings in WordPress dashboard are also not hindering indexing.

  • 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.
