Hello,
Thanks for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.
I tried to open your sitemaps but I was blocked by the Wordfence security plugin. As I was unable to open the sitemap, it is likely that Google is also seeing the same Wordfence page and thus giving the errors.
Please check the screenshot available in the sensitive data section.
Please let us know how that goes.
Thanks.
No, Sorry its not that
You are blocked because you are from India (block country)
I removed this country block
Hello,
Thank you for keeping in touch with us and we apologize for the issue you are facing.
I was able to check your sitemap and indeed it is working fine when loaded in the browser. I also tested it in a Sitemap XML validator and it returns no error as well.
Can you please make sure you have excluded your sitemap from caching? You may follow these steps:
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
After doing so, remove your sitemaps from your GSC and submit the primary sitemap only (sitemap_index.xml). Give google some time to recrawl your website.
Let us know how it goes. We are looking forward to helping you with this one.
No, I send screenshot firstly, thanks to take a look
I use only wp rocket
with this advanced rules / never cache url:
/(.*)sitemap(.*).xml
/(.*)sitemap.xsl
PS : open yr link in new tab will be better (-_-)
Hello,
Thank you for getting back to us.
We checked the validity of your sitemap, and it is already working fine.
If your sitemap URLs are not being discovered it possible that there are different versions of your website that are viewable in the browser.
It seems that you haven’t verified the www (or non-www) and HTTP (or HTTP) versions of your website.
Please ensure that only 1 version of the sitemap is working (200 Ok status), and the rest are redirecting to it. You can also use this tool to check. Please follow the steps in this link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/#5-check-for-the-correct-version-of-the-sitemap
Once done, remove all your sitemaps submitted and resubmit your main sitemap only /sitemap_index.xml, and give Google some time to recrawl your website. Google will use your main sitemap to crawl the other sitemaps.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I Tested all (See pictures) : sitemap in cache, domain name, redirections in htaccess
Nothing Works
Google can read all sitemap but not the index_sitemap.xml
Hello,
Thank you for getting back to us
Could you check if your sitemap here is being cached by Cloudflare? Just checked and you seem to be using Cloudflare CDN/proxies.
Please follow this guide on how to avoid this.
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
Also, note that Google allocates a crawl budget to every website and it stops crawling when it exhausts that budget. It is possible that Google hasn’t yet crawled your website and sitemap to find your site links.
You can as well confirm if the issue is really with the Rank Math sitemap by using a 3rd party sitemap plugin. Just make sure you have disabled the Sitemap module of Rank Math in WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard when using a 3rd party sitemap plugin.
If the other plugin works, please do let us know.
We are looking forward to helping you.
