Hello,
We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your sitemap returning 404 errors. This can cause Google to be unable to find all the pages on your site, which can impact your site’s indexing and visibility.
There are a few reasons why this might be happening. It could be due to caching issues, server configuration, or incorrect sitemap submissions. To address this, we recommend checking if your sitemap is accessible using a tool like httpstatus.io. Additionally, you may need to exclude sitemaps from caching and ensure that the correct sitemap has been submitted.
If you’re using Rank Math, we have detailed guides on how to fix sitemap issues and their causes. You can refer to the following articles for more information:
