Hi All,

Recently one of my websites is facing a crawling issue.
The pages that ends with index.html google is showing those pages without index.html.
For eg: abc.com/def/ghi/index.html is now cached as abc.com/def/ghi/
Recently I have submitted sitemap.xml in google webmaster tool and after that this problem has started occuring.
Could that be the reason.

Please let me know if anyone else is facing this issue or not and what could be the possible reason and solutions.

Thanks

You want the links to be minus the index page name. Make sure you update your site navigation to get rid of them.
