Search console can’t read rankmath sitemap

Hello,

Two variations of the sitemap are returning 200 status and one is returning an error, you can check using https://httpstatus.io/:

Please ensure that only 1 version of the sitemap is working (200 status), and the rest are redirecting to it.

Please follow the steps in this link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/#num-5-4-redirect-all-three-other-versions-to-your-preferred-variation and redirect to the correct version.

Once done, clear your website cache and resubmit the sitemap in the Search Console.

Also, Indexed, Not Submitted in Sitemap is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts but not through the sitemap.

It is possible that Google is crawling your website and indexing the posts through the internal links on your website and not through the sitemap, and as a result, the crawl budget for your website is exhausted and Google is not able to discover the URLs through your sitemap.

There is nothing to worry about as long as the posts/pages are getting crawled and indexed.

I hope this helps.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

I tested the variations of the sitemaps and two variations are still returning the 200 status.

Please ensure that only one/preferred variation returns the 200 status and other variations redirect to it with a single 301 redirection.

Also, once this is done, assuming you’re resubmitted the index sitemap, please wait for Google to crawl the website again as Google would see the changes once the website is crawled again.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this redirection cannot be achieved with Rank Math’s Redirection Manager and thus we shared the guide with you that mentions the process of redirecting to the preferred variation.

As there is one non-www and one www variation that is returning the 200 status, you can also follow anyone among the below guides, based on the preferred variation, to set up the redirection:
WWW to non-www: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-redirect-www-urls-to-non-www/
Non-www to www: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-redirect-non-www-urls-to-www/

If you’re not sure, please get in touch with your web host as they would be in a better position to assist you.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
