Sitemaps shows 5 indexed

Posted in: #GoogleSearchConsole #Sitemap

In Google Webmaster Tools, Google Index -> Index Status shows 40 indexed pages:

However Crawl > Sitemaps shows 5 indexed pages, and 35 submitted:

There are no crawl errors in the sitemap.

Why are these numbers inconsistent? How many pages is Google actually indexing?

You most likely have indexed pages that are not included in your sitemap.

Google Index -> Index Status - shows all pages that are indexed for your domain.

Crawl > Sitemaps - shows which pages were indexed from the sitemap you submitted

This is normal. However, if the number grows quite large for a small site you might have to plug a few holes using your robots.txt file. Here is some sample code:

User-agent: *
Disallow: */personal-folder/

Also, keep in mind that GWT is not very accurate and information doesn't get updated at the same time.
