    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. The "General HTTP error" can occur for several reasons, and here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

    1. Flush Permalinks

    To start, try flushing your permalinks. You can do this by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks. You don’t need to make any changes; just click the Save Changes button.

    Flush Permalinks Settings

    2. Flush Sitemap Settings

    Next, flush the sitemap settings in Rank Math. Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings in your WordPress admin area. Change the value in the Links Per Sitemap option (for example, if it is set to 200, change it to 201) and then click Save Changes.

    3. Check for Caching Issues

    Ensure that your sitemap is not being cached incorrectly. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude sitemaps from caching.

    4. Check Restrictions from Web Host

    If you can access the sitemap directly but external tools cannot, there may be restrictions from your web host or a security plugin. You might need to exclude the sitemap from any firewall settings or contact your web host for assistance.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
