HI There,
I have gone through your knowledge base and I have taken all the required measures. I have gone one step further and copied the entire website to a new domain and google is able to crawl the pages successfully – it implies there isn’t any problem with the actual content OR quality.
I’m now on the verge of giving up on this.
One thing I’ve been desperately looking for is an actual issue OR error that I can fix ( there must be something that’s stopping my pages from being indexed).
It’s difficult to understand how it’s possible that google doesn’t recognise a single page from the website – but searching for the actual website domain actually gives search results to this post, the other copied website and other support posts that mention my website but none of the pages from my website.
Many Thanks for your continued support on this.
Sameer
In addition to the above, I do get 404 errors quite frequently when accessing https://planet11plus.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml
Every time there’s 404 error, I need to go to Rank Math – Sitemap Settings -> Save
And then it starts working again.
This is not good – I was hoping great things after installing Rank Math but I’m getting so much trouble even before subscribing for PRO version.
I hope to get a solution before uninstalling Rank Math.
Many Thanks,
Sameer
Hello,
The issue with the sitemap is clearly a caching issue since the actions you take to fix the 404 are the ones that clear the caching on them.
We would recommend that you use the transient method from this tutorial and clear the cache by following he steps you followed before one more time: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
As for the issue with the website not being indexed, as you can see from the results of the homepage the error states the following:
Crawled - currently not indexed
That means that Google is able to see the website but it doesn’t see the content on the page (currently the homepage) to be worth indexing or it’s too complicated to understand the structure of the page.
There are countless tutorials online about this but this one is one of the most comprehensive: https://www.onely.com/blog/how-to-fix-crawled-currently-not-indexed-in-google-search-console/
There are no technical issues with the website so that means that our plugin is working as expected, otherwise, you would see other technical errors appearing in the reason for not indexing the pages.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
I do not use any caching plugins due to the dynamic nature of content/quizzes on my website. I used Litespeed a long time ago but removed it as I was not able to exclude some elements on my website that I didn’t want cached.
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Please note that the cache could be via a plugin or from the server.
If you’re not using any caching plugin, you should get in touch with your web host to check and exclude your sitemap URLs from their caching services.
Looking forward to helping you.
