Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I’ve gone through a few steps and troubleshooting procedures while investigating the issue you’re encountering with. Your sitemap is working perfectly fine and it’s valid. But it seems that all 4 variations ( HTTP, HTTPS, and WWW,non-WWW version of your URL ) of your sitemap are showing
HTTP status code 200and none of them have301 redirection. I’ve tested them using https://httpstatus.io, and here is a screenshot for your reference:Here only one of the 4 variations should show a 200 status code. The 3 remaining ones should show 301. Please try redirecting three other variations and it should be fixed.
Exclude the sitemap from caching(If you haven’t) after you apply the fix:
