Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing. Unfortunately, Rank Math does not provide an option to change the default sitemap URL from sitemap.xml to a custom URL. The sitemap is typically set to be accessible at the standard location for ease of use and compatibility with search engines.
However, you can still take steps to secure your sitemap by using the robots.txt file to restrict access or by ensuring that it is not easily discoverable through other means. If you need further assistance with this or have any other questions, please feel free to reply to your ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
