Sitemap issues

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your sitemap on http://www.stextremecleaning.com. If the actual sitemap files do not exist, there might be a few reasons causing this problem.

Based on the information provided, it seems like the sitemap might not be generated correctly or is not accessible. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check Sitemap Generation: Ensure that the sitemap is being generated correctly by Rank Math. You can do this by going to your WordPress dashboard, navigating to Rank Math SEO > Sitemap Settings, and verifying that the sitemap is enabled and generated properly.

2. Check Sitemap URL: Confirm that the sitemap URL is correct. The default sitemap URL for Rank Math is usually http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap_index.xml. Make sure to replace “yourdomain.com” with your actual domain.

3. Exclude Sitemaps from Caching: If you are using any caching plugins, make sure to exclude the sitemap files from being cached. Caching sitemaps can lead to them not being updated or displayed correctly.

If after following these steps, the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue for you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

Please note that Rank Math’s sitemaps are dynamically created, so there shouldn’t be any XML sitemap file in your root directory and you won’t find one as well.

Your sitemap is indeed showing a 404 error, but it is accessible through this link:
https://stextremecleaning.com/?sitemap=1

In this case, you may need to apply the redirect in your server configuration by following the steps here:

If you need assistance applying those rules, you may need to get in touch with your web host so they can add it for you.

Hope that helps.
