    I have a lot of indexing issues, I thought Rankmath would take care of, with another SEO plugin I never had problems (on other sites).
    I have 693 pwnsinf pages with redirect .. I do not know why. some of the pages it gives are ok, they are not redirected but are found .
    this one is strange https://ourwebsite.de/8dbb8bf0-bf2d-4626-bdb0-85fff4f29f18/

    then we have 124 pages excluded by ‘noindex’ tag and validation also failed.

    we have 124 pages not found (404)

    44 pages with Alternate page with proper canonical tag

    20 Blocked due to access forbidden (403)

    531 Crawled – currently not indexed

    8 Duplicate without user-selected canonical

    1 complienze endpoint on wp-admin not sure why you index this

    I am not so techy, I would assume since you provide the sitemap and indexing your plugin should correct things

    I look forward to your reply

    Hello @startechmarketing,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    As is true with any other SEO plugin, just enabling a tool won’t magically make the SEO on your website perfect, and everything will be fixed.

    Our plugin is just a tool to help you optimize the on-page SEO of your website but it’s not an automated SEO tool.

    Circling back to the issues you see:
    Pages with redirect
    These seem to be pages coming from previous malware on the website. If they are showing a redirect, it is likely that you or another plugin set the redirections for this manually on the website.

    You can also check on GSC the last date the pages were crawled to see if they were found recently on your website or not.

    More info: https://rankmath.com/kb/page-with-redirect/

    Excluded by noindex
    This error is pretty common and to fix it you simply need to take note of the pages with this error and verify if they are indeed supposed to be noindex pages or if you need to change the robots meta settings on the pages:

    Pages not found
    These are pages that Google has found, either via internal links or other methods, but they are returning a 404 status code, meaning that they don’t actually exist.

    You can check which ones have this error and make sure that you are not linking to any of them on your website, which would make Google continue to discover them and try to crawl them.

    Alternate canonical
    You can check this tutorial that covers the issue completely: https://rankmath.com/kb/alternate-page-with-proper-canonical-tag/

    Blocked pages
    The access to those pages is being blocked by your security software and as such you need to assess the current firewall rules and see if any page that should in the index is currently blocked.

    Crawled currently not indexed
    This is a pretty common error and we would recommend checking the following article in our KB to learn more about it: https://rankmath.com/kb/crawled-currently-not-indexed/

    Duplicate without user-selected canonical
    As is true with most common errors we also have a KB for this situation that you can see here: https://rankmath.com/kb/duplicate-without-user-selected-canonical/

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
