Enable sitemaps indexes? Yes or No?

    Hi. First, thank you for your great effort in this plugin.

    If I use the recommended option “Enable sitemaps indexes Yes”, the plugin creates several sub-sitemaps and Google console doesn’t read it. If I try to load them manually, the same error: no read.

    If I put option “No”, then Google can read it but plugin keeps a notification that I should use the option “Yes”.

    I am wondering if this option “No” will keep my hosting busy, or is not a good idea in the long run from Google side.

    Can you recommend a solution? thank you in advance.

    You should use enable Sitemap Indexes if your sitemap has a lot of URLs. For example, if you have over 500 URLs in your sitemap and it loads slowly then enable Sitemap Indexes. If Google can read the sitemap.xml file then they’ll pick up the individual sitemaps in the index, you just have to give them time.

    I gave google a lot of time already and nothing happens, it doesn’t recognize anything but the name sitemap.xml, including manual input.
