    I lived with a crawl problem for about a year….
    submitted but not indexed.

    Then i hired a guy to take a look.

    He simply disabled the yoast schema in Features Tab.
    then installed a separate sitemap xml plugin.

    My problem was solved.

    My comment is not meant to be critical of Yoast products, but i was naive enough to think there is one single product plug-in that will handle everything seo related; and do it perfectly. I was wrong. I stressed over that sitemap crawl for months. Im not sure what was “wrong” with the yoast sitemap configuration, but all I know is the problem went away in an instant when i switched to a single sitemap plugin – and thats all it does.

    good luck

    A friendly review for anyone who watches the thread…. I was sitting at a D GRADE for website efficiency… After installing this plugin, and image compression?

    A grade. 94%.

    This product works.

    I did follow the advice in another thread. Frank mentioned that instead of a full embed of the Google map, which does demand to load first, I simply took a screenshot of my page and Google map, cropped it to just the map image, I placed the exact same map image in same spot, and added a clickable image link that takes them to my GMB listing. The Google crawl should find the same link and reference the SEO relevance.

    My case is resolved.
    The customer support is impressive too.
    Thanks Frank.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, Frank.

    It’s a simple website. If I am understanding your answer, I probably will not need to “inline all CSS”.

    I did think of uninstalling plugin and reinstall when edits complete. I guess I get nervous that some coding does not fully remove. Like the old windows XP. That old xp system required a degree to get everything back out of the system. Technology has changed, but the painful memories of manually uninstalling software has me hesitating before click the “deactivate” (uninstall). Especially when your product is perfect and running top notch.

    As long as the deactivate option isn’t harmful, I suppose I wiil try that approach, and stay clear of the “inline all CSS” options.

    I am impressed with your product.
    The customer support? 5 stars!

    Thank you for taking the time, Frank.
