Dear Geonetwork community,
We have a geonetwork instance for the swiss authorities that was poorly indexed by search engines for many years. I assume mainly because the robots.txt file is not stored at the right place per default, i.e. at https://hostname/geonetwork/srv/api/robots.txt and not at the directory root https://hostname/robots.txt.
To fix that, I explicitly gave the robots.txt URL and the sitemap index URL for indexation to Google Search Console :
* https://www.geocat.ch/geonetwork/srv/api/robots.txt
* https://www.geocat.ch/geonetwork/srv/api/sitemap
Now, the metadata indexation is working but extremely slow. We have ca. 14'000 metadata in our catalogue and google indexes only 1'000 Metadata URL per month.
Does anyone had a similar experience/issue and knows a way to overcome that ?
Many Thanks in advance
All the best
