Sitemap could not be read: General HTTP error 403

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us and a very happy new year from Rank Math team.

We apologize for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

I checked your sitemap page and it seems to be loading just fine in the browser:

No issues when submitting to an XML Sitemap Validator as well:

Please follow the steps below:

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:

3. After that, remove all your sitemaps from your GSC and resubmit only the primary sitemap (sitemap_index.xml).

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you with this one.

Hello,

Sure, do let us know how that goes.

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need our assistance with anything else.
