Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

The error on your sitemap page suggests there must be some white spaces before the XML Sitemap’s source code.

Please follow this troubleshooting guide to fix that issue:

I hope this helps.

Looking forward to helping you.
