Hello,

I inspected your website in Google SERP and there are 88 pages currently indexed.

Can you please click on the “Excluded” tab and take a screenshot of the “Details” so we can further check the details of why these URLs are excluded?

Looking forward to helping you on this one

Hello,

Could you please click the Page with redirect error and take a screenshot of it?

Once done, please share the link here so we can check and verify those affected URLs.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

I can check that you are using the WWW version of your URL and the pages with redirect issue is for the non-WWW version of your site. Since those URLs are being redirected to the WWW version that’s why you are seeing them under the excluded section.

You can simply ignore those errors as your site has a total of 49 URLs and all of them are already indexed in the SERPs.

Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that.

Hello,

I will try my level best to help you get to the bottom of this.

There are a few things you have to keep in mind when using any SEO plugin, not just Rank Math.

1. An SEO plugin alone cannot bring down or bring up the traffic in a day (or even a few days) unless incorrect Meta Tags are used by setting up the plugin improperly. That’s why we have a detailed tutorial on that:

2. All the SEO plugins add Meta tags for the search engines which can be checked by viewing the source of a page. For instance, here:
view-source:https://rankmath.com/

Other popular plugins generate similar tags:

And with the Rank Math plugin, additional tags are added to a page so search engines can understand the content on a website better.

3. Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that.

Technically speaking, we don’t see anything wrong with your pages/posts that could cause to drop in your traffic.

I suggest you observe your traffic if it’s going back to normal after a couple of days or weeks.

Hope that helps and let me know if you need my assistance with anything at all.
