    Hello @blackdeth73,

    Thank you for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have caused.

    The Discovered URLs 0 that you see in Google Search Console just means that the URLs in the sitemap were already found by Googlebot by other means instead of via the sitemap. For example, Googlebot may have found the URLs from internal links or possibly from links on another site.

    As sitemap is only a backup crawling/discovery mechanism for Google to crawl your URLs, the root focus should be if your site URLs are being indexed on Google on not. If they are being indexed perfectly, that shouldn’t be an issue.

    You can read more about this issue here:

    Also, you can look for your coverage report section of GSC to see if any error has been reported by Google or not rather than focusing on discovered URL count.

    Looking forward to helping you.
