Hello,

I have submitted the site map on Google Console, 4 pages out of five have been indexed successfully, however, one page, URL that I have provided in the sensitive data was not indexed with the below error showing up when I inspect the URL on Google search console.
the error is Page fetch

Failed: Crawl anomaly

I have also provided a few examples of posts URLs that were not indexed with the error,
Indexing allowed?

No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag

Please advise which settings in rank math I need to tweak to remove these tags being generated?

Thanks
Jay

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

All these posts have been set to index. Could you please clear your cache and test again?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for looking into this, yes you are right all the posts have been indexed, however, one page in the sensitive date foodie-map was unable to index with the below error.

Page fetch

Failed: Not found (404)

If you could please advise a way to resolve this that would be great.

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay,

If you load that page in your browser, you will see that it opens fine:
/foodie-map/

It is possible that there was a 404 when Google last tested it but it is showing a 200 status code now which means OK. Give it a few days before it is indexed like the rest of your posts/pages.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

I have performed URL inspection of all the URLs on google search console, all looks good except the URL for page foodie map, do you still think it is a timing issue and I should give it a few more days?

I have also performed a google mobile-friendly test and unfortunately, most of the URLs are not passing the test due to robots.txt, please could you advise how this could be resolved.

Thanks
Jay

Just to add a bit more information to my previous message, in Rank Math SEO Title and Meta under Global Meta, I have Noindex Empty Category and Tag Archives turned on, can this be the cause of the issue of robots.txt on the page foodie map?

Hi,

I still do not see any noindex tag:

Your robots.txt file doesn’t show any anomaly either:
https://internationalfoodieguide.com/robots.txt

The same can be verified on this 3rd party website as well:
https://seositecheckup.com/seo-audit/noindex-tag-test/internationalfoodieguide.com/foodie-map

But, your page is showing a 404 status code:

You must check where that is coming from because it is not coming from Rank Math.

I would start by disabling all plugins, switching to 2020 theme.

Then, enable each plugin one by one until you find the problematic plugin.

Do let us know how it goes.
