Google couldnt fetch

Hi there,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I have tested your sitemap on https://onlinecurl.com/ and it looks like your server is caching your sitemap file and you also have W3 Total cache that is also caching the file which is causing this issue.

Please head over to this plugin’s settings and exclude the sitemap file from your caching rules. You can also go further and get in touch with your host in doing the same from their end.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for the follow up.

Please allow this to fetch for a few days and let us know how this goes.

Thank you.

Hi Darren,

Yes it will take a while for the new settings to take effect and thus you can delete the current sitemap index and resubmit a new one and then just wait.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for the follow up.

Please head over to Rank Math > Dashboard and disable the sitemap module and then install the Google XML sitemaps plugin to check if the issue will still be reproduced.
You can find this plugin on the WordPress repo here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/

Let us know how this goes. Thank you.

Hello,

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

Thanks for the access.

I have entered the sitemap URL on the Litespeed cache plugin crawlers section so that this sitemap can be used by crawlers instead of the one generated by LS.

Please check the progress in a day and let us know how it goes. Thank you.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for the response and sorry for the inconvenience that has been caused by this issue.
I would really love to help in this but this far we have been able to establish that the issue is not related to Rank Math since the Google XML sitemap is also affected.
I have gone ahead and tested your sitemaps on online Googlebot simulators such as this but they state that the sitemap is accessible and crawlable.

I would recommend that you bring this up with your host and have them check any other usage of server cache and CDNs that could cause fetching problems.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.
