Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and we apologize for any trouble you may have experienced with Rank Math.
If you’re experiencing an increase in toxic backlinks after installing Rank Math, it’s unlikely that Rank Math is the cause of this issue.
To address the issue of toxic backlinks, you can take the following steps below.
1. Since you have already used the SemRush tool to detect this issue, try to identify where those backlinks are coming from as well. You can use more tools like Ahrefs, and Moz.
2. Create a disavow file containing the URLs of the toxic backlinks and submit it to Google using the Disavow Tool in Google Search Console. This tells Google to ignore those backlinks when evaluating your website’s ranking.
I would recommend going through these URLs:
