    Hi, when I copy the Rank Math sitemap to the search console, the /sitemap_index.xml/ gives me error 403, and it comes out like this:
    Could not read sitemap
    General HTTP error
    1 instance
    An error occurred while trying to access the sitemap. Make sure it meets our guidelines and is in the specified location and resubmit it.

    HTTP error:
    403

    What can be done to make the sitemap load correctly. Thanks

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    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:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    3. Clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account and submit only the main sitemap (your-domain.com/sitemap_index.xml).

    Further, give Google some time to crawl your website and see if that fixes the issue.

    If the issue persists, then please share the link to your website so that we can investigate this further.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
