Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Your sitemap is currently rendering a blank or white page.
Can you please follow these steps?
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:

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Hi there,
Yes that worked. Thank you. I just have a couple more questions.
1. Would that issue have affected our traffic?
2. We have 4 sites – why do some “Links Per Sitemap” contain 200 and some 1000?
Thanks
Hello,
1. It will depend on the situation. There’s an instance where Google is already indexing all your website URLs without the help of your sitemap. However, if your sitemap is not available when Google attempts to crawl it, there may be some content that has been ignored thus traffic is not coming in.
2. The default Links Per sitemap option is 200. Having 1000 as your Links per sitemap is ideal if you have a lot of blogs or pages on your website. This will help reduce the number of sitemap pages being created.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi there,
We have another site that is using Super Page Cache for Cloudflare. Could you please tell me how to Exclude Rank Math Sitemaps from Caching?
I’ve tried a couple of things but sitemap is still not showing in Chrome or Safari.
Hello,
We don’t have that plugin listed in our guide, however, the plugin “Super Page Cache for Cloudflare” should have excluded the sitemap by default.
Please refer to this thread here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/excluding-sitemap-from-cache/342466
If that doesn’t help, you may contact the support staff from Cloudflare to help you completely exclude the sitemap from being cached by that plugin.
Looking forward to hearing an update from you.
