HI, when I do a site:(see sensitive data for full search) search in Google I only see archive results via tag or category but no individual page entries (except for a few right at the end that are new).
The sitemap generated by Rank Math has the pages listed so I am wondering what has happened. Can you look into this or give advice or check my settings and see if there is an issue?
thanks

Actually I am not sure on that as we had a blip on May 4th for clicks and clicks have remained steady since May 4th.
Impressions only dropped for May 5th then came back May 7th-11th and were steady. The big drop happened the day after we installed rank math and the first bot visit and index.
Search Console is already showing the index shrunk by 50% with the new sitemap submitting 50% of the old sitemap.
We have set tags to off, but we did not put a ‘no index’ (set to off) on pagination yet pagination is not in our sitemap (2,3,4) not sure why.
Hello,
In those pages I see there are a lot of pagination pages (when a page or post is divided in subpages) and Rank Math has an option to don’t index them, so maybe you have it enabled and then Google deindexed them (so you lost indexed pages):
Looking forward to help you.
Hi pls see what i wrote in my previous post.
” we have set tags to off, but we did not put a ‘no index’ (set to off) on pagination yet pagination is not in our sitemap (2,3,4) not sure why.”
So image one shows a jump in indexed but not submitted on the site map. Image 2 shows the types of files NOT submitted via the sitemap. That means pagination is NOT included.
However, i have never turned on that setting to not include them so why are they not in the sitemap to this day?
Hello,
Well, I think we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
