Google Webmaster Tools and Cloudflare Pages

sitemap.xml couldn’t be read fetched or whatever… has nothing to do with your actual site but more with the subdomain from Cloudflare.

While Cloudflare might not do anything, Google might block those pages as they might have been used to spam the GI (Google index) in some kind or another.

I recently enjoyed this problem with processwire-recipes.pages.dev. Google didn’t think about indexing the contant at all. 3 pages of about 90 pages in total were index after 3 weeks.

Sure enough, after switching to a real domain name like processwire.recipes Google just needed two days (somewhat of 28 hours in total to be honest) to index the WHOLE site with all pages.
