    You can see whether Google can access your site in the Google Search Console: https://search.google.com/search-console/about

    I would recommend contacting Cloudflare support to find out whether and what Cloudflare does in this regard: https://support.cloudflare.com

    The Google Search Console should inform you if a page of your website is not accessible for the GoogleBot. You should be able to see the status of the pages under Indexing > Pages. If there is an error message there, follow it up. If you have any questions about Search Console, you can also contact their community: https://support.google.com/webmasters/community?hl=en

    I have also found a suitable topic for you in the Cloudflare forum: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/allow-google-bot-with-rules/504109

    Please note that your previous question has absolutely nothing to do with the WordPress forum here. If you have any concerns with CloudFlare, please contact their support and wait for an answer. Alternatively, if you are not satisfied with any of their services, you can always opt out of this service.

    Nevertheless, I also took a look at your website itself. In my opinion, it is configured correctly. There is no blocking of indexing. What you might be missing is an SEO plugin that could help you optimize your content. Look for one here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tags/seo/

    Then you could also ask the Rank Math support forum whether they have any ideas: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/seo-by-rank-math/ – as I said, from my point of view it actually looks good.

    thank you. Is my robot.txt file correct. never done one before. I have asked rank math and hundreds of people have asked the same question but they do not seem to answer. they just reply with it has been indexed. i went from yoast to rankmath because yoast was getting a bit expensive.
