been noticing a massive drop in crawl frequency on our deeper subdirectories lately. the main landing pages are fine, but anything more than three clicks away from the root seems to be getting deprioritized. i checked the logs and it looks like the bot is hitting the
/sitemap_index.xml
but skipping the lower-level nodes. is anyone else seeing this with the recent core update? i tried updating our internal linking structure, but it hasn't fixed the latency in discovery.
>it feels like we are being de-indexed by design
maybe check your robots. txt for accidental disallow rules ❓

the sitemap index issue suggests the bot is hitting a wall at the sub-sitemap level. try injecting some high-authority links from your top-performing landing pages directly into those deep nodes to bypass the click depth dependency. it might not be a core update, but rather a crawl budget exhaustion issue caused by bloated subdirectories. have you tried checking if the deeper sitemaps are actually being parsed in the search console reports?
