Ahrefs Reports 374 posts removed from Sitemap that are indexable

Ahrefs Reports 374 posts removed from Sitemap that are indexable. I will try and give as much detail as I can. What I have done to check, and where I may be wrong.

I noticed a small change in GSC lately, not a major lose, maybe 45%. Starting on the 17th. I do not think this is a hit from the Google Core Update, because I am seeing the numbers go up and down. I can also site:seach the articles and find my site. i also am coming up on GSC and Keywords still. So I do not think my site was hit.

What I did. I wasn't being indexed from the plugin Google News Sitemap, so I redid everything, the next day I saw on my GSC articles were getting minor impressions on the Google News tab. not a ton, but some. I had not seen any impressions on Google News prior.

Then AHREFS report came back saying 374 pages removed from Sitemap. I went back into my WordPress settings and noticed in the reading section that only Google News Sitemap was clicked in the Enable XML Sitemaps.

Was this my error, should I have both XML Sitemap and Google News Sitemap checked? Is there an error using the XML Sitemap and a Google News Sitemap?

Was the error somewhere else? And how can I check why I lost 374 posts that are indexable from the sitemap. To be clear, these are not duplicate posts, these are my main article posts.

On Google when i check my sitemaps I have 3...

Sitemap/Rss - 51 indexed

Sitemap-News.xml - 6 indexed

Sitemap.XML - 1745 Indexed

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
