Rankmath Sitemap has No-Index Robots according to GSC

Hello,

Thank you for contacting support.

That URL of the sitemap of the website should return a noindex status code because you wouldn’t want to index the sitemaps from your website, but rather only the pages that are inside the sitemap.

That directive on the sitemap prevents it from appearing on SERPs but it doesn’t prevent Google from crawling the pages on it and indexing them.

If you test any sitemap, even from big websites you’ll see that all of them use this directive to be sure it’s not getting included on SERPs.

Even our own sitemap includes that:

To submit the sitemap to the correct place on GSC you should follow the steps in this tutorial: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

As for the couldn’t fetch issue on GSC, that is not usually because the website is inaccessible but rather because it has not been processed yet from Google.

Your domain is very recent so this will take time to process.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
