anthony2 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Seems most of those errors are regarding to /cart , /my-account , /checkout pages that we use WooCommerce for. Should we be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Pratik.d Posted February 23, 2019 Support Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hello, I logged into your site and I added below code in Dashboard >> Settings >> WP Rocket >> Advanced Rules >> Never Cache URLs: /(.*)sitemap(.*).xml /(.*)sitemap.xsl WP Rocket was caching the sitemap URL which was causing the problem. Also, I noticed the checkout, cart and my-account page on your site is not set to noindex. They are being indexed and shown in the Sitemap. Hope that helps. Please let us know if there is anything else. Thank you. 🏁Rank #1 on Google With our WordPress SEO Plugin. ⚡Score a 💯on PageSpeed and Dominate Search Rankings. ✏ Editing theme files?

anthony2 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Great, thank you! One thing I did not understand fully was your comment on checkout, cart, and my account page were set to no index-- where were you able to see that and why was it set that way? How do I change that as I need to update this on other websites too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Pratik.d Posted February 25, 2019 Support Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hello, Visit any page /cart, checkout or /my-account and check the robots meta tag in the page source. Those pages are still being indexed on your site. To set it to noindex, edit page and in Rank Math SEO Metabox in Advanced tab check the noindex checkbox. Please see the screenshots in the Sensitive Data Section. Hope that helps.
