    Hi Team ,

    In the last 2 weeks this issue has occurred thrice. I suddenly saw that my website traffic has decreased. Checked in search console and found site map is cannot be fetched.

    When I go to my WordPress and click on site map everything looks fine, but when I click on sitemap it does not open.

    I have to use the save option to save the sitemap every time and this resolves the problem. Then I have to again submit the sitemap to google. This is becoming quite a frequent issue and I have to save the site map in rank math every time to resolve the issue.

    Please look into this issue on high priority.

    Hi @Antoinette,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Please follow the below steps and see if that fixes the issue:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

    3. Clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account, and then submit only the main sitemap (your-domain.com/sitemap_index.xml) (please ensure to replace “your-domain.com” with your actual domain).

    Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if the issue is fixed.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
