Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with the different results from your sitemap URLs. The two URLs you provided point to the same sitemap but may return different results due to how your server handles trailing slashes.
- Trailing Slash Issue: Some servers treat URLs with and without a trailing slash as different resources. This can lead to one version returning a valid sitemap while the other may not.
- Caching: If you have caching enabled on your website or server, it might serve different versions of the sitemap based on the URL accessed.
- Redirects: Check if there are any redirects set up in your .htaccess file (for Apache) or Nginx configuration that might affect how these URLs are processed.
To resolve this, you can try:
- Accessing both URLs and checking their content.
- Ensuring that your server is configured to handle both versions consistently.
- Setting up a redirect from one version to the other to avoid confusion.
If the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
