    Hello,

    After i installed RankMath i cant see the sitemap.

    When i visit the link it redirects me to homepage.

    Also in RankMath -> 404 monitor i see a lot of 404 pages that there wasn’t there.

    Can you check it?

    Best regards

    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting back to us.

    Please delete the current sitemap on your search console and submit a new one with the new URL.
    This is indeed bad for SEO but it looks it is related to your site cache, could you please check if the sitemap file is returning a 404 currently?

    Could you please head over to Rank Math > SEO analysis and let me know the specific errors that are reported? Alternatively, please perform a test on https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ and share a screenshot of the results so that we can advise further.

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the response.

    Your sitemap is currently working correctly. I have gone ahead and added an exclude rule to your WP Fastest Cache settings to prevent caching of the sitemap file.

    For the second issue, please follow the recommendations of Google Page Insights to improve the speed of your site.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.

    Hello,

    The sitemap looks ok now.

    I will check these plugins, but the problem with the weird urls is still there.

    I dont know to remove them and the problem is that they rank very high.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    As I mentioned earlier, the weird characters are caused by dialects and other special characters on the URL and is completely normal.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
