offline-plugin-app-shell-fallback/ URL indexed by Google

[MaralS]

Hi,

I'm using the Google Search Console in order to see the state of the indexation of URLs and I don't understant why https://www.urlofthewebsite.com/`offline-plugin-app-shell-fallback/` is indexed.
Indeed this kind of URLs leads to a 404 page and impacts on SEO.

I noticed that page is on the sitemap.xml file, how can I fix this problem ??

Thanks a lot

Hmmm... it shouldn't be. We exclude it here

gatsby/packages/gatsby-plugin-sitemap/src/internals.js

Line 38 in d8a971a

exclude: [`/dev-404-page`, `/404`, `/offline-plugin-app-shell-fallback`],

Perhaps there's a bug with our exclusion logic? Would love a PR fixing this if that's the case!

Excluding ['/dev-404-page/', '/404/', '/404.html', '/offline-plugin-app-shell-fallback/'] worked for me. (trailing / and /404.html required)

@KyleAMathews I recently updated all the packages including the sitemap plugin.

I use :

gatsby-plugin-sitemap@^1.2.11:
  version "1.2.18"
  resolved "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/gatsby-plugin-sitemap/-/gatsby-plugin-sitemap-1.2.18.tgz#6e5f0e64a95fd79fbdf6183f4c34587e6b42d07e"
  dependencies:
    babel-runtime "^6.26.0"
    sitemap "^1.12.0"

Am I using the latest version ?
I excluded these pages through the gatsby config file and when I pushed these modifications it worked

I think I will resubmit the sitemap.xml file to Google for a new indexation of the pages of the site.
