Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap showing the x-robots-tag: noindex. This typically indicates that your server is instructing search engines not to index the sitemap, which can prevent it from being fetched correctly.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Check Your Server Configuration: Since you are using Nginx, ensure that there are no configurations in your Nginx settings that might be adding the x-robots-tag: noindex header. You can check your Nginx configuration files for any directives that might be causing this.
-
Review Your Robots.txt File: Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking access to your sitemap. You can check it by visiting `https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-sitemap-issues/.
-
Inspect Page Source: Although you mentioned there is no noindex code, double-check the source of your sitemap and any related pages to ensure there are no conflicting directives.
-
Caching Issues: Sometimes caching plugins or server-side caching can cause issues. Clear any caches that might be affecting your site.
-
Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to ensure your sitemap is correctly configured.
If after checking these points the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with more details about your server configuration or any recent changes made to your site. A human agent from our support team will be able to assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
