Based on our customer's response, here’s what they are encountering in Google Search Console:
I’ve included a breakdown of triaging the issue in Google Search Console for the reference plus an explanation on why we think it's the pagination that’s causing all the missing page issues..
Issue: Nested Indexing Error in Google Search Console
Submitting sitemap works… at first but then when you inspect further
You can see that each sitemap.xml?page=X has an error. When we look at the error, we have a nested indexing error.
This happens because Google expects the sitemap index to reference separate sitemap files (.xml), but the current setup is dynamically paginating the index using query parameters (?page=1). When this happens pages can be missed.
Could someone review this and confirm if adjustments in Google Search Console are required? Or is changing the pagination URL the only viable solution?
