    Hello Mr. Rakibuzzaman Siam,
    My name is Vishal Verma, Senior Developer.
    I know the pages are fixed because I fixed them. But thank you for looking into this matter.
    I will explain how it’s solved.
    The main problem is size, actually. I have over 900 pages and set Rank Math settings to show 1,000 links on a page. But I have also checked the images into the sitemap, so the result is that it takes a lot of data and loading time. If we uncheck the images in the sitemap, then the pages load easily without errors.
    I hope you and your team will look into this problem and solve it.

    Best regards,
    Vishal Verma

    Hello,

    I am glad that you are able to resolve the issue and thank you so much for the detailed steps you shared to resolve it.

    Assuming you have a lot of images per post, our plugin will look for each post’s content for those images to include it in the sitemap which will require server resources so the only way to address that is:

    1. Decrease the Links Per Sitemap to divide the sitemaps into parts which is perfectly fine for search engines.

    2. Increase your memory limit and CPU in your server to handle such operations when loading the sitemap.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
