Is Anyone Else Having Indexing Issues with Google Search Console?


Hi all - I'm having issues getting my site (http://twkids.app) Indexed onto Google Search Console. I've submitted my Sitemaps over a month ago & also have all the same URL's as Internal Links from my homepage. However, not a single one of my Sitemap URL's has been indexed. It just says "Discovered - but not currently Indexed" & status is "Started", but no other explanation.

The Google Crawler automatically indexes some pages but it's been quite slow. And the Inspect URL works, but it's very manual & there's a daily limit (I have around ~60k pages to index).

Is anyone else having Indexing Issues and know how I can resolve this? Any advice would be very helpful!

Yes, I have experienced the same. It takes a long while (several days) after submitting sitemap for the pages to actually get indexed. Even after it starts indexing, it will do few pages per day (few usually is < 10).

It helps if you have a back link to kickstart things. Even then if some of your internal pages are not easily reachable from the home page, those page will not get indexed soon enough.
